News Flash: Jesus Is Not Running for President

Jesus refused to be made an earthly king (John 6:15; 18:36).

He holds a much higher position (Rev 1:5; Matthew 28:18).

He has declared His rule and we must obey (John 18:37; Acts 2:36-38).

If Jesus Will Rule This Nation, You Must Let Him Rule You!

Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
