So I dressed up the other day and a friend kept asking, ‘Do you have a date tonight?’ I was like, ‘Yea with Jesus!’ Then another friend said,’I’m sure you don’t want to go out somewhere with a guy all beat up with thorns in his head.’ His response made me sad honestly because I realized that his view of Jesus was far different than mine. When he said this I quickly realized that many people have an inaccurate portrayal of Jesus. I asked myself the question, ‘Why is this? Why do so many people think of Christ as being dead…defeated…disgusting…still on the cross?’ Then the thought came to mind that maybe the reason so many people aren’t able to see Christ the way I see Him is because we as Christians may not be doing the best job of showing who He is. If we walk around acting like we’re defeated and say we are representatives of Christ then of course people are going to think that about The One whom we represent. We are to be lights for Jesus! We are ambassadors for Christ and we are more than conquerors! MORE than conquerors! Others should know who He is because they know us and we know Him. If we know Christ and are in Him as His Word instructs we will bear much fruit. Fruit draws people to Christ! My prayer is that more people will see Jesus as Alive and Powerful!
