I’m convinced that most of you in this room really, really, really, really like Jesus. But if you’re honest with yourself, you don’t really want to BECOME like him.
You admire his humility, we all do. But do you really want to be THAT humble?
You think it’s beautiful, I think we all think it’s beautiful that the Son of God would get down on his knees and wash the feet of his disciples - we think that’s beautiful, but is that really the goal of your life? And is your life headed in that direction of servanthood?
You’re thankful that Jesus was spit on, and abused, and that he took it. But you would never let that happen to you.
You love the fact that he laid down his rights, but you’re going to spend your life fighting for yours and defending yours.
You praise him, you sing songs, and you love him because he loved you enough to suffer during his whole time on earth for your sake. But you’re going to make sure you have fun while you’re down here and that you have a good time.
In short, you think Jesus is a great Savior, but he’s not a great role model.
Gosh, what a change in perspective about communion! :D I love tenth avenue north!
the reason why some people choose not to come to church..don’t let it be your church.
