But, sadly, there are also some that claim to be Christian who lust after worldly power. Quite a few, actually, if the noises that many politicians make are to be believed. A true Christian should not care anything about worldly power. Jesus has made it so clear that even a team of high-priced Philadelphia lawyers couldn't wrange out of this plain truth from Mark 10:
"You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."We come to Him in service. This may include being stewards of His creation, but must never, ever, be for the sake of exercising power of our fellow man.
