Leonardo DaVinci’s painting, The “Last Supper” is iconic. I suspect that anyone over the age of 10 has
seen it and would recognize it immediately. So, when the organizers of the blasphemous scene of drag
queens, gays, and others mimicking the Christian faith said that it wasn’t intended to portray Christ’s
final meal with His disciples, even atheists rolled their eyes and laughed at the idiocy.
Two things stand out to me in the aftermath of that debacle. First, that enough Christians were
offended that many just decided to find something else to watch on TV. From what I’ve read, ratings in
the U.S. are at record lows. I’m glad that Christians are standing up to those who would demean,
ridicule, and marginalize our devotion to Christ Jesus, thus minimizing His suffering, death, and
resurrection. We should let everyone know that we will not stand for our Lord to be mocked…. again.
The second thing, though, is that I wonder why people in places of responsibility…on a worldwide
stage…think that it is okay to make a mockery of Christianity? The biggest worldwide media production
in years and someone has this bright idea: “Hey…why not insult and demean Jesus while we have
everyone’s attention?”
People have no fear of God, for sure. They have no respect for believers. If that sounds familiar, then
you have evidently read 2 Timothy: “People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,
proud…unholy… conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—”. That is a description of the
“last days”. (2 Timothy 3:2-4 NIV)
Keep in mind that this disgraceful display was on a worldwide stage. We usually think from an America-
centric view of events. The Bible always speaks to the entire world. When we point to things happening
in the U.S. as pointing toward Christ’s return, we are only looking at part of the bigger picture. This
mockery involves the entire picture: It incorporates whole world and shows us how they feel about our
Lord and His followers. I’ve always believed that our nation is the last bastion of Christian standards in
the world so our moving away from Christian morality as a standard surely worries me. But…this pagan
worship (which is what that was) was presented to hundreds of nations, effectively disrespecting Christ
around the world. That’s a big deal.
Say good things about your Savior and His church on this bluff.
