Information Overload

In short, being a christian person, one who finds no other more rapturous joy than to show gratitude to her Creator, I find myself eager to share how Jesus has changed my life. I have found a weird thing. I've found that during that conversation on the plane or while talking to random person A, telling him\her that they need Jesus-while I know its true and there may be a no more significant thing to coax to his\her mind, that it has come to be cheap. How kind of me to tell you how it is. How it is. I know how it is. Don't we all. Here I come swooping down on angel's wings to give you the answer. All those other 10,000 ways you've tried reaching the climmax of life's existence were the wrong ways and congratulations you now have the answer via the overflow of my devotion to Jesus (insert knife to slice sarcasm here). I could go to your door and leave a flower and Bible verse but I find myslef only leaving the flower just so you know that you and I have no agenda and answer to life's problems number 10,001 isn't going to come from me. Just take the flower. How did sharing Jesus get cheap? I don't know, but it has. Jesus was(is) a revolutionary thinker, what would He do? Because that is what I want to do.

When Jesus started his ministry, He did not go around broadcasting the fact that He was the Messiah. He went around loving people, and teaching love. Essentially, He allowed his actions to define Him, and then He allowed Himself to define the word “Messiah”, rather than letting the word define Him.

Perhaps we need to take a cue from that today. To many people, the name of Jesus has seriously negative connotations; arguably, the only people who really understand His character are the ones who are already christians.

Should we drop the “christian” label (and the Mighty Sledgehammer of Truth), and allow our actions to define us first? I think there are some times when that's more effective.
