Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.

Jesus had no servents, yet they called him Master...

He had no degree, yet they called him Teacher...

He had no medicine, yet they called him Healer...

He had no army, yet kings feared him...

He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world...

He committed no crime, yet they crucified him...

He was buried in a tomb, yet He still lives today...

Be honored to serve such a leader who loves us.

If you believe in God and Jesus Christ His son...

Then copy and past this on your profile.

If you ignore him, in the Bible, Jesus says...

"If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my father in Heaven..."
