A lone man stood before the throngs of dazzled spectators and followers. His words captured the hearts and minds of those who heard him speak. Those closest to him knew him as an agent of change, a revolutionary figure who spoke of the future and a new hope.

He turned the establishment on its ear. Promising a new way, a new path, he amazed the multitudes with his poignant phrases and stories. Never before in the history of the nation has such a man from humble beginnings risen to such influence. Not much was known about the man, but his followers will follow him to the ends of the earth.

He challenged the status quo. People believed. People were changed. He is probably the most influential man ever to walk the face of the earth.

My allegiance is to this man. A man from a small town. A working man.

He stood on the hillside and delivered what I believe is history’s most revolutionary speech, the beatitudes and the sermon on the mount.

I pledge my allegiance and loyalty to his platforms, to his constitution. To his kingdom.

Jesus, the son of man, the Son of God. Elected not by popular vote or the whims of man, but chosen by God to bridge the gap between man and God.

My hope is in You. Because You said all authority comes from God, I will pray for and support the leaders of my temporal country, but know that my eternal home and country is in the Kingdom of Heaven.
