Love?

While I'm sitting in the cafeteria at my high school the song 'My Jesus' by Todd Agnew was playing on my mp3 player. At that moment I felt convicted because I was judging people's personalities based soley on their looks. And when Todd started singing these words that I'm going to put down here, I felt bad for doing that. Because God has a crazy, self-sacrificing, relentless love for them and I was judging them. So here is what he sang...

Which Jesus do you follow,
Which Jesus do you serve
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ,
Why do you look so much like the world

Cause My Jesus bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and liars,
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
or do we pray to blessed with with the wealth of this land
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sands

Judging people is such a worldly thing. My God, My God, help me to show them the love of Christ more and more everyday. Shape me into the image of your Son. Amen.
I don't know what these people have gone through, but I do know this; They NEED Jesus!! Now. And, as Christians, it is our God-given duty to be burning bright with such an overwhelming passion for Jesus that people will wonder what we have within us and then, we get to share the greatest message of all time. The gospel.

Who is this that You follow,
This picture of the American dream,
If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side,
Or fall down and worship at His holy feet
holy
Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion,
Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins,
But the Word says He was battered and scarred
Or did you miss that part,
Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize Him

My Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and the least of
these,
He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable,
So which one do you want to be,
Cause
My Jesus would never be accepted in my church
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet,
But He reaches for the hurting and despises the proud
And,
I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd
And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud

I want to be like my Jesus
I want to be like my Jesus

I don't know what else to say except that God is the best ever. So, I challenge you, in the next 48 hours, to share with someone, I don't care who, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Go and SHRED THE GNAR!!! (means go big or go home)

Lord, I pray for strength for all of us students on our campuses. Just give us the strength to stand up and live for You. Let us be the light in this darkness. Here we are Lord, take us and use us for Your glory. Give us the words to speak and the actions to show the other students. I pray that You would help us raise up a generation of people who seek your face in all that we do and help us to not be ashamed of You. Lord, I want to thank you for it in Jesus name, Amen.
