The beauty of nature (both plants and animals) amazes me! However, there is another beauty that amazes me even more. That’s the beauty of seeing the reality of Jesus Christ living in and flowing through everyday people.
When people are filled with awe and wonder in the presence of the living Jesus Christ, they can’t stop exuberantly talking about Him and how He wows them. That is contagious Christianity and it’s a super-spreader!
I believe (and the book of Acts seems to indicate) that overwhelming awe that causes people to daily live undone and surrendered to the presence of the risen Jesus is the missing ingredient in contemporary Christianity. That lack of awe often keeps Christ-followers from openly and enthusiastically proclaiming and demonstrating the presence, power, and love of Jesus.
When the risen Jesus
Is the one true Header
Christianity is
A super-spreader
And a doubt shredder
That wakes people up
To the presence of Christ.
When Christianity
Shifted from mystical
(From being Spirit-led
With Jesus as the Head)
To analytical
And statistical,
It became logistical
And egotistical.
Set your pride
To the side
So that Christ
Can reside
Within you
And be your
Inner Guide.
For joy unspeakable:
Let God be your inner Guide.
Live in rhythm with Jesus.
Stay in step with the Spirit.
A dead God needs a religious organization to speak for him, but the risen Jesus can speak for Himself. “My sheep hear My voice.”
