We tend to make God in our image. If something is important to us, it must be important to God. Since political freedom is important to us it must be important to God. Political freedom was not emphasized by Jesus, he never addressed the topic. During the period known as the Enlightenment period the church resisted the idea that people could govern themselves. Now it is something we include in our public prayers. Jesus desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. He does not care nor will he get involved with the politics of the country in which we live. Once we understand that we just might get busy.
