What would Nelson do?

mANDELLAA sad note here ..

The online History of Nelson Mandela:  http://digitaljournal.com/article/353312   reports that “Walter Sisulu, secured a job as an clerk at law firm … run by a liberal Jew, Lazar Sidelsky ….. At the firm, Mandela befriended Gaur Redebe, a Xhosa member of the ANC and Communist Party, as well as Nat Bregman, a Jewish communist who became his first white friend. Attending communist talks and parties, Mandela was impressed that Europeans, Africans, Indians and Color-eds were mixing as equals. However, he stated later that he did not join the Party because its atheism conflicted with his Christian faith, and because he saw the South African struggle as being racially based rather than class warfare.”
When I hear Christians extolling Christ like behavior, I think of the dreadful ego associated with deciding to be crucified or claiming to be divine.
The next time I hear “What would Jesus do?”  I will answer, :What would Mandela do?”
