Lecrae Warns Lil Nas X About the Dangers of "Mocking Jesus"

Lecrae has responded over rapper's Lil Nas X's attempt at "mocking" Jesus. Over the past week, in marketing his new single, "J Christ," Lil Nas X has posted the cover art depicting himself as Jesus on the cross, claiming his new video will premiere in churches and uploading a TikTok video of himself dressed as Jesus while taking shots of red wine and eating communion wafers.
Lecrae took to Instagram on Saturday (January 13) to upload a screenshot of a tweet, in which he offered his thoughts on the potential consequences of the younger artist's actions.
"Okay I gotta admit Lil Nas is playing with fire mocking Jesus," he wrote. "he's getting the attention he wants from folks at the risk of searing his conscious. Still if God can transform King Neb, murders, [sic] slave masters, sex workers, etc. he can add another Blasphemer to the list."
He added a lengthy caption, in which he offered deeper context.
"We generally find ourselves outraged at blatant disrespect of our Lord," he wrote in the lengthy caption to the post. "Even the Torah in Leviticus 24 says "The one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death." But as frustrating as it may be to see, here are some thoughts."
He continued: "1. We have to remember God used different means to demonstrate his anger before Christ came, now Jesus has taken the full cup of that wrath on the cross. 2. Be thankful that God is patient because many of us benefit from that grace, mercy, and patience today. 3. When the blasphemy against the Lord was at its height Jesus was being beaten and in the process of being murdered and his response was "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." Let us remember to pray for folks who are blinded as we once were."
