We step into the voting booth with one foot on the outside. We are Americans, to be sure, but we are much more. We are citizens of the kingdom of God, over which the King of kings reigns supreme. Our time here is temporary. We are resident aliens in a land destined for a fiery destruction. Our allegiance is to Christ.

Imperatives are good for many things. Luther said the Law is good, but precisely because it is good, it has become poison and death to the bad. The Law does not give life but evaluates it, and we encounter day in and day out its negative evaluation of us.

Understanding that I am completely free in Christ allows me to read the injunction to “love my neighbor as myself” as a promise instead of a threat.

Sin is driven by disordered love, and it is love in this sense that leads to all the pain and suffering in the world.

In spiritual matters, the Scriptures teach us that freedom is tied to slavery and bondage.

What does it mean that holding to Jesus’ teaching will set us free? Which teaching? What will we be set free from?

We vote because we are citizens, and it is our duty. We serve our neighbors in love because it is our Christian calling.

As long as our illusions of control over storms and germs persist to govern our thinking, we will never be able to take the saving work of Christ as seriously we ought.
