Many people today believe that Christianity no longer reflects Jesus in America. In fact, a growing majority of 16 to 29 year olds are skeptical about Christianity. The fact is that conversations about Christianity rarely turn to the person of Jesus. isn't there something wrong with this? Aren't Christians followers of Jesus?
Even when we turn our focus toward Jesus, we discover many different ways that people see Jesus! Everything from son of God, servant, savior, compassionate to deceiver, just a man, nice guy, or misguided. So, what is your picture of Jesus? Perhaps we need to revisit how we see Jesus. Many of us don't know his stories, but we claim to follow him.
This year we will travel through the Gospels as we journey through the life of Jesus. Our hope is that we will begin to see Jesus for who he was and how he radically impacted the society he lived in. Then, we will transfer those principles into our everyday life so we can begin to better see how Jesus would have walked today.
I John 2:6 says "whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." Let's "Walk It Out" together this year.
