WWJS - to me? Part II
As you consider this meme (and I believe a few of you are), here's another thing to think about. What inspired me to create it was the thought that there are so many stories in the Gospel where Jesus met a person, said just a few sentences to them, and their life was changed forever. Most of us want to believe that as Christians, disciples, if Christ talked to us directly, in the flesh, we would be the ones following Him every day, hanging on to His every teaching, recording what He said (and arguing like dolts over who was first amongst us). Who says we would be that lucky? More to the point, who says we'd get that much hand holding? Maybe I would warrant only one interaction with Jesus. The Gospel makes it clear - those who got only one chance with Jesus were often changed for life, and those who He spoke to that didn't change missed out, forever.
So, if you met Jesus on the road today, do you think He'd preach the whole Sermon on the Mount to you, tell you a parable, or simply command you to pick up your bedroll and go, for you are healed? Answer however you wish - I just thought I'd tell a bit more behind the inspiration for the meme.
