AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

My boy’s club met last night, and it was a night when my protégé led. He did a wonderful job, and I have no doubt he’ll continue doing well in the ministry after I am gone. I will be taking on a much smaller, more intimate group, that I like to call "intensive community building". We are going to take the boy’s club several steps further, be more deeply involved in each other’s lives, and I am excited.

A question was asked last night, and I’d like to continue the discussion here. Why don’t we introduce Jesus to everyone we meet?

That’s the question. We covered a lot of reasons, but I’d like to know a few of yours. Then, we can discuss how we can change that, IF we can change it. What does it take, and what would it look like to introduce everyone we meet to the Jesus in us? That’s where this is going, but for now, why don’t we already? Thank you all.

Just as God looks at us and sees only Jesus, isn't that the way everyone should see us?

I think the problem comes when we don't fully realize our redemption to the Father through Christ. We allow guilt and shame to creep into our lives and this acts like a basket over our light. Why do we do that? Could it be that cultural religion doesn't teach "freedom from guilt and shame" through the person of Christ? Could it be that they're more concerned with the teaching of guilt-and-shame producing "religion" than they are "liberty of Christ"?

I don't know, just thinking out loud...

Thanks for responding guys and gals. :)

I will put my twenty seven dollars and sixteen cents worth in the form of a post, possibly tonight if I don't fall asleep at the keyboard. You are all, by the way, RIGHT!! But, there is more, as we all know, and some of it goes very, very deep. Love you all.
