Maybe they’re right. Maybe He’s not really worth it.
Maybe we SHOULD keep our thoughts of Him to ourselves. Maybe our Christ-walk IS just a private thing. Maybe our Facebook and blog posts (and our other daily interactions) SHOULD be only about vacations, parties, new toys and beautiful children. Maybe we’re all powerhouse Christians with no need for reminders, encouragement, or shared testimonies. Maybe He DID JUST DIE so you and I could be saved and then go on with our lives like nothing happened. Maybe He IS just a picture on the back bedroom wall (or back corner of our hearts). Maybe all these who wish we’d just “shut up about Jesus already!” maybe they’re right. Maybe He’s NOT really worth it.
Or............ Maybe He IS The SON of the only HOLY ALMIGHTY GOD! Maybe He DID die so you and I could escape eternal burning hell and live eternally in perfect joy and abundance! Maybe He IS the answer to every problem we face, even today!
Maybe He IS our Life, our Hope, our Joy, our Peace, our Provider, our Strength, our Refuge, our Rock and Redeemer, our Salvation, our Mediator, our Intercession, our Advocate, our Bridegroom, our Shepherd, our Peace, our Righteousness, our Glory, our Maker, our Saviour, our Brother, our Portion, our Helper, our Physician, our Refiner, our Purifier, our Lord and Master, our Example, our Teacher, our Keeper, our Feeder, our Leader, our Restorer, our Resting Place, our Meat, our Drink, our Passover, our Wisdom, our Righteousness, our Sanctification, our Redeemer, our Ransom and Offering, the Chief Corner Stone, the Great High Priest, the Resurrection, the Alpha and Omega, the Highest, the Lord Jehovah, the Sacrificial Slain Lamb of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Door, the Vine, the Bread of Life, the Rose of Sharon, the Lilly of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star, the Light of the World, the Author and Finisher of our Faith, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Prince of Life, the Prince of Peace, the Prince of Princes, the King of Earth, the Word of God, the Word of Life, the First Born Son of God, the Christ, the Messiah, Emmanuel, the Anointed One, the Holy One of God, Yahweh, Jehovah, the One and Only Begotten of the Father, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, our ALL…. IN…. ALL!!!
Or maybe such thoughts and words should be left to the extremist street-corner preacher or televangelist. And maybe this is not for anyone else. Maybe it’s just for me. But today, He IS worth it to me!
