I think it is funny that most people really get into politics. Which I mean we need to be aware of things going on in our world, but why is it that we can stick a banner in our yard or a bumper sticker on our car for the candidate that we feel will do the best job, but we don't hardly ever campaign for Jesus.
Jesus needs to have campaign leaders 365 days a year. He doesn't actually win His campaign until He has won the hearts of His people. With each person that we encounter daily, we need to spread the news of Jesus. Jesus campaign is ongoing, and He needs more workers now than ever! It is harvest time and Jesus says "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;" (Matthew 9:37)
We need to be out working in the name of Jesus to bring lost souls into the kingdom. So they can feel the awesome Love of God and to have a peace that is beyond anything they have ever felt before.
Before we are able to support a candidate in any election, we first know what kind of background they have, and what types of things they have done. So before you go out campaigning for Jesus, you must know the background of this candidate.
So here is a brief history of Jesus and His promises, if you elect Him into your heart.
Name: God, Jesus, King of kings & Lord of lords, Son of Righteousness, Resurrection & Life, Prince of Peace, Alpha & Omega, The Beginning & The End, Messiah, Savior, The Way The Truth & The Life, I AM, Chief Cornerstone, Great Shepherd To The End, Master, Teacher, and Best Friend. But I just call Him Daddy!
Age: Timeless
Resides: On His Throne in heaven and in the hearts of His children.
Education: Lets put it this way; He is a lawyer, doctor, judge, therapist, counselor, and King. I think He had way more going for Him than a four year college degree.
Some amazing things He has done: Spoke the entire universe into existence, formed man with His own hands into His own likeness, freed people who were slaves, clothed fed and gave water to those who had nothing, He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless, He has made a way when there looked to be no way. He was tempted and tried and overcame the whole world. He healed the lame and they walked. He healed the blind and they saw. He healed the deaf and they heard. He has done these things fo years so there is no way of truly knowing how many cases there are...So I will just say countless. He was persecuted and beat so bad that no mere mortal man could of lasted through it. He was then nailed to an old rugged cross and left there to die a horrible death. But He overcame death and was risen from the dead on the third day! I would like to see another candidate do all of that. They couldn't even hold a light to Jesus.
As His child, I can also tell you what He has done for me. He protected me even when I was rebellious and thought I knew it all. He kept me safe and I am still alive today, even though I should be dead. He brought me up from a pit of despair and grief. He lifted me up and has called me by my name. I once, too, was blind but now I see. Death will not prevail. He has blessed me in more ways than I can count. He saved my soul, gave me His Spirit, and a promise that only He can fulfill! He has healed my body. He has shown me what true love really is and that His love for me I could not begin to fathom. He has showed me the true meaning of "getting high" or "living the high life". He has built a mansion for me in Glory. He has treasures awaiting me when I get home. He has loved me even when I didn't love myself. He has worked everything out for my good. He blesses me even when I don't deserve to be blessed.

Because He will do more for you than you can ever imagine and everything that you need Him to be, He is that and a whole lot more.
