Jesus Was Apolitical

    In my brief time following politics I have heard several times from prominent Democrats that Jesus was a liberal.  It has been argued that Jesus was a conservative. All this based on His actions as recorded in the Bible.  With further study of the life of Jesus, one who possesses sanity would have to conclude that Jesus was way beyond politics.
    Let's say for the sake of argument that Jesus was the Son of God as the Bible teaches.  His mindset would not have been focused on politics at all.  His mission was to be an example to mankind on how to live according to the will of the Father and to pay the punishment for sin in the place of all mankind, that punishment being death. (Romans 6:23)
    If you read about Jesus you will see that the majority of His life was spent either in prayer to God, preaching and teaching salvation or healing mankind's sufferings.  He did not make statements such as "Ceasar lied, people died!"  He did not petition that local brothels be closed down in the name of morality.  He did not advocate redistribution of wealth.  He told the rich young ruler to sell ALL of his belongings and give to the poor but Christ also commissioned him to follow Him.  
    Whenever someone states that Jesus was of a political lean you can know that Christ's only care was to obey God and the salvation of mankind from their sins.
