CHRISTIANS---WAKE UP!

Reading from the book of Luke 21:35-38; Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?"
"Nothing" they answered.  He said to them, "But now, if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you do not have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.  It is written; 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me.  Yes, what is written about me is reaching it's fulfillment."  The disciples said," See, Lord, here are two swords."  "That is enough," he replied.
In that day travel was dangerous.  It is dangerous today.  Christians sometimes forget that Jesus Christ was a man as well as the Lord of all, the Savior.  He was not a wimp, or a pushover.  Yes he  was caring, loving and forgiving while at the same time, he was hard as nails, tough, strong, both physically and mentally or he would never had been able to endure what he did for us.  But before he died on the cross and was raised from the grave he walked among us as a man.
Jesus recognized that it was necessary to defend themselves as they traveled, hence the swords.
Those today who think that we should let someone else defend our home and family (think police) are missing the point of the Second amendment.  It is not about hunting or sport but about DEFENSE AND THE NEED TO BE READY!  Yes, and to remove a despotic government if necessary!...Medicineman!
