“I’m fine with Jesus,” one bumper sticker reads, “I’m just not sure about his friends.”
Do you self-identify as Christian? Perhaps a regular church attender?
For those of us on that side of the fence, perhaps we need to consider a few questions.
I’m walking, like the couple in the story of the Road to Emmaus. Jesus appears walking beside me.
- Would he consider me a friend?
- Would he give me one of his patented pointed comments?
- Would I be embarrassed?
- Would he be embarrassed?
- Would I have the courage to ask questions about life?
- What might he be asking of me?
- How would I respond if he asked what I had done or said recently that helped someone know him?
- How would I respond if he gently shared how I had fallen short?
- Do I resemble that opening remark?
