What is the biblical basis for "March for Jesus" or "Jesus Day"?
score:3
Accepted answer
There seem to be no records of the specific theological basis on which March for Jesus was founded. However based on its priorities and aims it is easy enough to discern general theological principles for the event.
The founders (like many Christians) are coming from a theological traditional where it is not necessary to find specific biblical approval for something as long as it is in accordance with Biblical principles. The general purposes of March for Jesus are well supported in scripture:
- Praising God. The main focus of March for Jesus is praise for God. Plenty of scripture attests to the need for this, both in public and private.
- Making the name of Jesus known Obviously also commanded as a central part of Christianity.
- Prayer Prayer is also a major focus of March for Jesus, specifically prayer for the city the march takes place in. Christians are commanded to pray not just for themselves but for their rulers and cities they live in.
Since there is a 'vast theological basis' for these activities, the founders take the view that there is nothing wrong, and much that is right, with adapting them to a present-day form.
