#75. His Campaign was for CHANGE
Innocent of any crime or wrongdoing, yet their vicious attacks upon him have been relentless. They have hated him simply for who he is. His political enemies have wanted to destroy him at any cost. Therefore, the most vindictive of accusations have they thrust upon this most renown leader -- nothing but lies have they heaped upon his very character.
Yet, a champion for the minorities, he labors on to help the poor and the downtrodden. And he is honored -- even worshiped -- as their savior. In their eyes, he can do no wrong.

But this man has been under continuous attack. The opposing faction is exuberant in its endeavor to crucify him. They simply want him to be gone. Why? Why such brutal force thrust against an innocent man? Why do his enemies hate him so much -- with such passion? Why? The truth: Because of his race!
Yes, Jesus, they hated you without a cause ... and simply because you're a Jew! As a tribute to the one who was destined to change the world through love and peace -- not through control and war -- I am reminded of a passage from John 15:24. It is a simple statement of fact. Jesus is speaking to his followers:
"They hated me without a cause."
P.S. -- Obama and his supporters may take credit for this think-piece as it is the very rationale applied to their Prince of Peace.
