America welcomes the Pope today.

That is appropriate.  He is an important religious leader.

The crowds and dignitaries clamor to meet the Pope, or maybe just get a glimpse.  Hopefully, he will deliver a message that includes the truth that Jesus is the only way to be saved:

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The Pope has the microphone.  He has the opportunity to challenge America to, once again, turn to Jesus.  That would be significant, in a country whose President seems intent on promoting Islam and rejecting Christ.

I am anxious to hear the Pope address both Houses of Congress.  I hope he chastises them for their unwillingness to end the killing of unborn children, and clearly gives them the Gospel message of Jesus.

It might be a good time to pause and remember that the Pope is a mortal.  Even so, he is a mortal who has been chosen to represent the Catholic Church.  He is a man who has the opportunity to present Jesus to the nation’s political leaders, as well as the country at large; Political leaders and a country that have rejected Jesus.

The President bowed to Muslim leaders when he met with them.  He did not bow to the Pope.

I hope the visit of the Pope brings change in America.
