In a recent Personal Evangelism class, the professor was talking about the importance of living ours lives in such a way, i.e. as Jesus commanded, that invite questions from the unsaved. Of course everyone agreed, but a classmate pointed out some of the laziest people in his place of work were Christians. It got me thinking:
- Why is it that some of the most miserable and stressed out people are Christians?
- Why is it that some of the most sarcastic and rudest people are Christians?
- Why is it that some of the people who worry the most are Christians?
- Why is it that some Christians are some of the unfriendliest people?
- Why is it that some Christians are among those most insecure?
- Why is it that some Christians are among those most unforgiving?
- Why is it that some Christians are among the most arrogant?
- Why is it that some Christians have the worst work ethic?
- Why is it that some of the people most likely to make excuses for what they do are Christians?
Why?
Have you ever been cut-off on the roadways by someone with a "Smile, Jesus Loves U" bumper-sticker on their car? Makes you wonder, huh?
Just maybe that is a part of the reason the world seem so indifferent, and in some ways hostile, to those who say they are Christians? My professor says that whenever someone asks him if he is a Christian, he replies, "I'm a follower of Jesus Christ". Quite the commentary, huh?
