Jesus' Advocate

 When I heard this story I burst into laughter, but then I thought, this is actually more serious than we think it is. Apparently Doda Indidis, a Kenyan lawyer, is planning on suing Israel and Italy over the death of Jesus Christ due to the way he was executed and how unfair the whole ordeal was.
Indidis said in his statement that "His (Jesus's) selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice." Indidis is right! Yet, he needs to acknowledge that times are different, therefore human rights were not as effective back then as they are presently. Indidis went as far as creating a Facebook page to get people to support his campaign of getting justice for Christ. This action is a bit contradictory of what Jesus teaches Christians through the bible that advises people to be 'mild-tempered'  'long-suffering' and 'forgiving'. Indidis actions seem to be motivated more by personal interests other than that of serving the Lord Jesus.
I believe that the past builds us and helps us to be better persons than we are but, that does not mean we have to go back there always to dig up things that are going to cause more problems to humanity than we already have.
This guy is trying to motivate the whole Christian community into believing that Jesus would like to have been done more justice here on earth, but the bible explains why Jesus was here and also that he would go through calamitous circumstances, so why don't we  leave the matter where it is for now, for the Lord himself will take care of it in due time!
