Bible tells us who Jesus was: Will we listen?

For those who question who Jesus was, here are the actual words (King James Bible):

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Nothing about free trade, neglecting the poor and sick, or being proud of your riches.

No, Jesus was not a liberal. Nor was he conservative. He loved us all and died for our sins.

What will we do with our time on Earth?

(We don't need a new conservative Bible - the King James works just fine.)
