Let's fight.

"Let's roll, let's fight. Let's show the world what's right. Let's roll, let's fight. His spirit is our Light."

Let's do it! Why the heck aren't we?

BUT WAIT! First let's dissect that thought:

"Fight," I think there is a negative connotation to that word. I usually think of fighting as something physical that boys stupidly do when they get in an arguement. Or as people going off to war, taking lives that they have no right to take. Thinking of fighting to show the world what's right, in that way, sounds like quite an oxymoron. Fight to show what's right? Oh yes.

One definition of the word fight is: "any contest or struggle: a fight for recovery from an illness." I like this definition. It reminds me of what Jesus said about not the healthy needing a doctor, but the sick. We are spiritually plagued by all kinds of disease. We risk infection daily. But we have a great Physician, who knows exactly how to treat our sickness.

Fighting a disease sounds about right. Not fighting the person who has it, but the infection within. Not fighting the people of this world, but the sins within them. Fighting Satan's attacks, not the people he brings nearer to him. Yes, I would go far as to say that I believe it is wrong to hate people like those who bomb other countries, those who flew the planes in 9-11, those who kill and rape and dissect and exploit.
Why hate them? They're broken. They're clearly hurting.
How is hating them going to make them any better? How is it going to show Jesus?
