Hi there! I stumbled across your blog today and just had to comment. You are right - Jesus can sell himself. The problem is that we have been marketing a "sweetness and light Jesus" and not the real Jesus. We have been telling them that if they accept Jesus that they will have a great life. While I would be the first to say that my life has changed since I found Jesus, I certainly wouldn't say that it has always been better! Knowing Jesus can mean persecution, difficulty and strife! What I can say is that Jesus has seen me through all of that and that he never fails me. Why aren't we telling people the truth? That without salvation from sin they will go to hell, and only Jesus can provide that salvation. When they hear this, then they can choose for themselves whom they will serve. Yes, Jesus will sell himself - but only if we tell the truth about him - just like Burger King needs to do with their Whopper Burgers! |
