Jesus > Religion
What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion?
What if I told you voting republican really wasn't his mission?
What if I told you republican doesn't automatically mean Christian?
And just because you call some people blind,
doesn't automatically give you vision.
I mean if religion is so great,
why has it started so many wars?
Why does it build huge churches, but fails to feed to poor?
Tells single moms' God doesn't love them if they've ever had a divorce,
but in the old testiment God actually calls religious people whores.
Religion might preach grace but another thing they practice.
Tend to ridicule Gods people,
they did it to John the Babtist.
They can't fix their problems,
and so they just mask it.
Not realizing religion is like spraying purfume on a casket.
See the problem with religion is it never gets to the core.
Its just behavior modification like a long list of chores.
Like lets dress up the outside,
make it look nice and neat,
but it's funny thats what they used to do to mummies while the corpse rots underneath.
Now I ain't judging I'm just saying
quit puttin' on a fake look.
I mean in every other aspect of life you no that logics unworthy.
It's like saying you play for the Lakers just because you bought a jersey.
See this was me too,
but no one seemed to be on to me.
Acting like a church kid,
while addicted to pornography.
See on Sunday I'd go to church,
but Saturday gettin' faded.
Acting if I was simply created to just have sex and get wasted.
See I spent my whole life building this façade of neatness.
But now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness.
Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean.
It's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken.
Which means I don't have to hide my failure.
I don't have to hide my sin.
Because it doesn't depend on me, it depends on Him.
See because when I was God's enemy and certainly not a fan,
He looked down and said, 'I want that man!'
Which is why Jesus hated religion, and for it he called them fools.
Don't you see hes so much better than just following some rules?

Now let me clarify.
I love the church, I love the bible, and, yes, I believe in sin.
But if Jesus came to your church,
would they actually let him in?
See, remember He was called a glutton and a drunkard by 'religious men'.
But the Son of God never supports self-righteousness, not now, not then.
Now back to the point. One thing is vital to mention.
How Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrums.
See, ones the work of God,
but ones a man-made invention.
See, one is the cure, but the others the infection.
See, because religion says 'do'.
Jesus says 'done'.
Religion says 'slave'.
Jesus says 'son'.
Religion puts you in bondage, while Jesus sets you free.
Religion makes you blind, but Jesus makes you see.
And thats why religion and Jesus are two different clans.
Religion is man searching for God.
Christianity is God searching for man.
Which is why salavtion is freely mine,
and forgiveness is my own.
Not based on my merits,
but Jesus' obedience alone.
Because he took the Crown of Thorns,
and the blood dripped down his face.
He took what we all deserved.
I guess thats why you call it grace.
And while being murdered,
He yelled, 'Father, Forgive them! They know not what they do!'
Because when he was dangling from that cross,
he was thinking of you.
And he absorbed all your sin,
and he buried it in the tomb.
Which is why I'm kneeling at the cross saying,
'Come on theres room'.
So for religion? No, I hate it.
In fact, I literally resent it.
Because when Jesus said, 'It. Is. Finished.'
I believe he meant it.
