I love to wear a sincere smile . . .

Daily writing prompt
What are your two favorite things to wear?

My two favorite things to wear are a smile and the presence of the One who makes me smile. “Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ.” This statement is found in the Bible (Romans 13:14) and I’ve discovered it to be a reality. I can put on Christ and wear His presence like clothes. When I do, He keeps a smile on my face, even in my most difficult times. That’s why I’m a huge Jesus fan!

Our one job is to be a true, sold-out Jesus fan. The world needs more Jesus fans who will connect with His heart and celebrate His presence and glory.

Jesus fans lose sight of their own agendas and stay caught up in and carried away by His presence and power. The Kingship of Jesus and the glory of His presence can be seen in the passion and devotion of His true fans.

The body of Christ is a tapestry of His worldwide fans whose hearts are woven together by their passion for His presence. When I meet a true Jesus fan, we have an immediate sense of belonging and connection as we celebrate our excitement about Him.

Be a Jesus-groupie. Focus on spending all your time with Him and His biggest fans.

Jesus fans aren’t content to hear a weekly lecture about Him. They personally interact with and celebrate His presence day and night! Jesus fans don’t passively follow a script. They keep their eyes on Christ and interact with Him from their heart.

Attending church doesn’t make someone a Jesus fan. Letting your heart be continually consumed by His love and presence does.

Fans focus on the person or thing they most adore. I’m a Jesus fan! Here’s my cheer: “Brighter than the sun, Jesus is the glorious eternal One!”

The more that people get to know the risen Jesus the more they become His on-fire fans and the more love for Him burns in their hearts. Attention, Jesus fans: Let’s enthusiastically put Christ back in the front of Christianity. A Christian’s primary job is to be a true, sold-out Jesus fan.

When Christianity isn’t Christ-focused it’s unfocused. The journey from church-focus to Christ-focus is amazing! The early Christ-followers were called Christians, not churchians. Christless Christianity is powerless to change culture, so it puts its hope in politics.

Without snooze-control it’s easy to sleep thru life. It’s time to lose the snooze and wake up to the reality of the risen Jesus!

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
