“Whom Would Jesus Cancel?” is a popular phrase that has been circulating on social media and in conversations recently. This phrase is based on the idea of cancel culture, where individuals or groups are called out for behaviors or beliefs that are deemed unacceptable by society.
But when it comes to Jesus, who would he cancel? Would he cancel sinners, tax collectors, prostitutes, or people of different faiths? The answer is no. Jesus’s message was one of love, forgiveness, and acceptance.
In the Bible, Jesus was known for associating with those who were considered outcasts or sinners in society. He dined with tax collectors, healed the sick, and forgave those who had sinned. Jesus’s teachings emphasized the importance of loving one another, showing compassion, and practicing forgiveness.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus famously said, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone” when a woman caught in adultery was brought before him. This demonstrates Jesus’s belief in compassion and forgiveness, rather than condemnation and judgment.
So, if Jesus were here today, he would likely not participate in cancel culture. Instead, he would continue to reach out to those who are marginalized, offer love and acceptance to all, and preach the message of forgiveness and redemption.
In a world that is increasingly divided and quick to judge, we can all learn from Jesus’s example of compassion, forgiveness, and love. Instead of canceling others, let us strive to emulate his teachings by showing kindness, understanding, and empathy towards one another.
So, the next time you hear someone talk about canceling someone, remember the words and actions of Jesus. Let us choose love over hate, forgiveness over condemnation, and acceptance over rejection. Who would Jesus cancel? Nobody. Jesus would show love and grace to all.
