Be a Good Example in Word and Deed

Jesus Christ would not be popular in today's society.  In fact people would still mock him as they did years ago.   Some people are inconsiderate to visitors at church.  They fail to realize when they do this that Jesus sees this, and that they are not having a Christ like attitude.   For example, a couple comes into a church building.  They do not know any one there.  They have muddy shoes.  Someone else criticizes them for getting the carpet dirty.  Plus, they get onto the couples children for smacking gum during the service.  They don't correct their own children for doing the same thing though. Then, others tell them "Oh, you can't sit there that's  my seat."   Next, a young lady comes in  and sits down in back row. She is shy person, and is sad.  No one offers to shake her hand.   In fact, people just get onto to her for wearing no shoes.  This is the not the kind of thing Christ would be pleased with.  Finally, a  new child joins the school your child attends. The new child  sits alone in the cafeteria, is ignored on the playground during recess,and is struggling to make good grades.
     If Jesus came into a church building with blood on his feet and hands, sadly enough most churches would tell him to leave cause his feet might stain their carpet.  If  Jesus sat next to someone most people would tell him to leave because he was different than them and make them feel uncomfortable.  If  Jesus was at the school your child attends would he be welcome?
     Wake up people!   What is popular, is not always what is right.   So welcome the visitors at church no matter what they look like, wear, or sit down, and  befriend the new child at school.   In just might make a difference in their life.
      Share Christ with others and be a good example to them too!
