Interviews to Destroy

 Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. Even while I served in a political office for years I hated “politics”.

Recently I heard a person interviewed on the television and I felt sorry for the man. The interviewer was not asking questions for the man to answer, but instead he was trying to trap the individual to make a mistake.

Later that night I saw the “commentary” of the interview and they had pulled six words out of the interview and for the next three minutes they proceeded to tear at the man’s character over how he phrased those six words.   Thinking a few minutes about what was miss-spoken, I wondered how an interview with Jesus would be accomplished.  

Then I heard a lady reporter make an observation.

She noted that she had already prepared a list of questions that would prove him not to be anything but a terrorist that incited people to rebel. Questions included those like, “How did you fool all those people into thinking you were dead?” “Did you have a twin that walked the city after your death and stole your body to fool people into believing that you were the Messiah?’ “Why didn’t you stay on earth and lead the nations, heal the sick, or do Godly stuff?”

Her list of questions went on and on and her co-anchor noted that she would give Him an interview He would never forget. Shocking as it may seem, I believe she would do everything in her power to destroy the character of Jesus for her own satisfaction and political gain. What have we shrunk to as a nation?

It seems that God is not feared, reverenced, or respected by our media. They do not conceive “faith” or “grace” in any part of their imagination. They are so set on self gratification and the humiliation of others which does not build up people but destroys them. If I sound frustrated, it is because the Lord told us to build people up and not tear them down.

We will not agree with everything they say or do, but we are called to love them as Jesus loves us. Through my frustration with the attacking portion of the media, I am sad because I know that one day they will get a chance to talk to Jesus face to face and he will interview them. Matthew 7:23. “Then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.”

We need to pray for our nation.  There are demonstrations in our own cities with no direction but they want everything to change. Funny, but they have that freedom to protest because people fought battles for our freedom.

As for me, I have starting praying for our media, even the ones that want to interview Jesus.
