On Sunday I asked our church a list of questions that caused us to consider what people outside of church think about God, Jesus and church. The responses were very interesting.
People are scared of God, mad at God and are confused by God. People in Bible days seemed to like Jesus OK. Yet, today it seems that people are very uncomfortable talking about Jesus. I think people are confused by Jesus today, because His followers are not much like Him.
If people are going to warm up to Jesus, I think Christians are going to have to start acting, talking, being more like Jesus. If people were to meet Jesus today, I think they would respond to Him just like they did years ago. The only Jesus people can see is the Jesus they see in Christians.
The world does not need judgmental, hypocritical, self-righteous Christians. The world needs loving, compassionate, humble servants of Jesus. God loved the world so much that He sent us Jesus. Jesus loves the world so much, He sends us to them. Let's do a better job of showing them the real Jesus.
Peace,
Stan
