Begging For Jesus


Acts 11-13

A true truth: 

I was watching a sitcom on TV late last night where a Christian family were guests in the home of the show’s star.  The family lived up to all the old stereotypes that the world depicts Christians as, silly, narrow and simple minded, judgmental and better than thou bigots.  The whole world is satisfied to get their Jesus through the media and pop culture but there’s one serious flaw… Jesus doesn’t come that way.  He comes through you and me, sincere believers who have experienced the overwhelming Grace that saved them.  When Christ comes this way, most people are intrigued and many want desperately to become a part of Him. 

“And as Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people kept begging that these things might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.” 13:42b
