Jacqui Lewis Instagram – Easter is upon us and there is MUCH to think about.
This Holy Week, Donald Trump made headlines selling $60 Bibles to fund his mountain of legal fees—Christian Nationalism selling off Christianity’s clothes while the faith they’re killing still hangs upon the cross.
The twice-impeached, white supremacy spouting, serial raping, grifter-in-chief is a fitting stand-in for the Roman soldiers in our Good Friday story. His entire life embodies the savagery of the American imperial project. In the same way that the soldiers’ cruelty exposes the violence beneath the Pax Romana’s glittery sheen, he is Christian Nationalism stripped of all the ways it tries to make itself respectable. Any pretense of following Christ is gone, leaving just the naked will to dominate.
Let’s be very clear: Christian Nationalism is actively crucifying the one they claim is risen. Every time they invoke Jesus’ name to persecute God’s people, they drive another nail into his body.
But we know how the story ends… 🙏🏾🙌🏾
