John the Baptist, Luke 7:18

People are putting down some football player. who didn't do something people thought he should do. If that bothers you and your a christian what does the Bible say? It says love your enemies. If you can't love this person then maybe just say something positive about Tim Tebow or some other christian football player. Share something about Tim Tebow on facebook and share something about some football player who did something good. Christians come across as Judgemental. John the Baptist was a good man but apparently he wasn't in the Kingdom. "He who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than He". John did tell it like it was. He condemned Herod and he wasn't wrong to do so. He taught the Israelites about God's Justice. He prepared peoples hearts and made them ashamed of their sins. He told them what they should be doing so they would realize how hard it is to do what you should and they would then need a savior. He leveled the mountains in other words those who thought they were something good realized they weren't. He brought them down to earth so that they would realize their need for a better way. John is the Old Testament. It shows how hard it is to change. The Israelites are like us trying to change themselves by simply doing good. So if you want to be a part of God's kingdom start loving your enemies do good to those who mistreat you. Apparently we should actually be defending him rather than putting him down. If Muslims see Christians praising them for their fervor and dedication. Maybe that will win them over faster than all the hate.
