We Draw Or Drive People To Christ

 

WE ARE GOD’S CUSTOMER SERVICE RERESENTATIVES. No one that we know has seen God. But Christians are seen every day. We deal directly w/the public. Many people will make a decision for Christ or not, based on their interaction w/us. Years ago, Jet Blue was my family’s favorite airline for vacations. The seating was comfortable & they had TVs in the back of the seats that the kids could watch.  We flew Jet Blue for many years. However, one day we ran into a ticket counter agent who had the worst attitude. I could deal w/the mistreatment. But, once my kids were affected, I vowed to never fly Jet Blue again. It seems harsh that out of all the good that a company does; just one bad interaction w/an employee & the entire company is condemned. Yet, this is how it is w/the Kingdom of God. People are in the “valley of decision,” & our actions can help determine whether that soul chooses to follow Christ or not. Today let us pray that the way we live & conduct ourselves draws people to Jesus Christ & does not drive them away. #IveGotWorkToDo

 

Malachi 2:8-9 MSG. “It’s the job of priests to teach the truth. People are supposed to look to them for guidance. The priest is the messenger of God-of-the-Angel-Armies. But you priests have abandoned the way of priests. Your teaching has messed up many lives. You have corrupted the covenant of priest Levi. God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so. And so I am showing you up for who you are. Everyone will be disgusted with you and avoid you because you don’t live the way I told you to live, and you don’t teach my revelation truly and impartially.”

 

Matt 5:15-16 TLB. Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.
