Think about "My Jesus"

Todd Agnew, a contemporary Christian artist, recently released a song titled "My Jesus". In this song he challenges Christians to think about who they look like...Jesus or the World. He continues through the song to explain how Jesus would not be well accepted in our Churches today because the "blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet."

This song has really caused me to think about myself. Who am I trying to be? As a Christian, I am to be "like Christ"...However, the more I look at my life, the more I realize that I look like the world. I try to be "in style" and "cool", and I want so much to be accepted by this world.

If Jesus were to walk into my Church, would I be like Him? I don't whether Christ would wear patten leather shoes or walk around barefoot. I don't know if He would wear a three-piece suit or just some dirty, shaggy robe. But I do know that it is not about what I am wearing, but it is all about what I am covering up. Who am I under the mask that I wear?

The Church as a whole body would be much better off, if we learned to be honest with each other and take off our silly masks and be open before God and with each other. So, what do you think? How much do you look like your Jesus? It's never to early to take off your mask, but there can be a time that it is too late.
