“I’ve always put my lot with you.” -Jim Jones
There is Christ and there is Anti-Christ. In what might sound like the words of Christ, Jim Jones declared that he was putting his lot with his community. Unfortunately, this didn’t turn out to be true. Jones was pushing the community to a suicide that he would not fully emulate. When the time came to die, almost everyone in the community took a lethal dose of cyanide. Afraid of a similar death, Jones shot himself in the head. I can’t imagine Christ pushing people to a painful suicide and then taking an easier route. When someone tells you they’re with you, make sure they mean it. There’s nothing worse than finding out that someone is a liar when you need them the most. Christ is about truth. Anti-Christ is about lies. When observing Jones, I don’t think it’s hard to figure out which category he falls in. There is Christ and there is Anti-Christ. Choose wisely.
Amen.
