A Texas evangelical pastor who was one of President Trump’s most vocal backers is calling on Trump supporters to acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, calling it a “chance to show that Christians are not hypocrites.”

The Dallas-based Robert Jeffress said in a Fox News column Wednesday that the former vice president’s victory is “a bitter pill to swallow” for “millions of Christians across our nation.”

However, Jeffress went on to argue that the “fact that God has established authorities means that by obeying the government, we obey God.”

“It’s always easier to submit and to pray for someone when he was our preferred candidate. But the rubber really meets the road when the person who takes office is not the one we supported,” he wrote.

“Here is our chance to show that Christians are not hypocrites. We serve a God who remains on His throne, sovereignly reigning over every square inch of this vast universe,” he added. “We serve a God who loves us and will never leave or forsake us. And now we have the chance to show the consistency and constancy of our Christian witness to this world.”
