Show not Know
I know a whole lot about Jesus. I grew up in Sunday school and saw every story of Jesus portrayed out on a flannel board. I went to Awanas every Wednesday night as a kid, got all the jewels in my crown that I wore proudly on my little red vest. As I got a little older I attended Royal Ambassadors (pretty much Boy Scouts with some Jesus thrown in) and I can still quote the pledge. I know a lot of people here in the Bible belt had the same kind of upbringing. I am very appreciative for my family making sure I was in church every time the doors were open, and I am proud of my background in the church. But I have come to find out it does not matter how much head knowledge I have about Jesus if I am not showing Jesus in every thing I do it is all in vain. This past Sunday at church they played a video blog from Penn J
illette( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhG-tkQ_Q2w ) from the comedy/magic duo Penn & Teller who is a well known atheist. He speaks about a guy at one of his shows that gives him a bible. Penn talks about how if people really believe that others are going to Hell then how much do you have to hate someone not to tell them about a way out. It really got me thinking about do I really have the kind of love for my fellow man that Jesus tells me to have? My prayer is for a pure heart and a love like His for all and not just the ones I want to love.
