In this political season, I decided a little religion might be appropriate so here is a short Bible study.
Remember what Jesus said: “Goats on the left, sheep on the right” (Matthew 25:33). Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish to do it from the right side of the boat. They did and filled the boat with fish. John 21:6 (NIV) states: “He said, ‘Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.’ When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.”
The origin of political Left & Right: I have often wondered why it is that conservatives are called the “the Right” and liberals are called the “the Left”. By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible, from Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV): “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” It surely can’t get any simpler than that!
