A few years back I remember waiting for a friend at Place Jean Jaurès in Toulouse, France. I started to notice a group of people:
One was a tall black guy with dreadlocks, the next was a girl in a beautiful blue dress, then there was this guy who looked a bit geeky with his skinny jeans and big glasses, some in the group looked asians, some black, some caucassion, they did not seem to have anything in common apart their age. I just couldn't figure out how they had arrived to the same place!? They looked like a group, but my question was, why are they together??
Then it occurred to me... THEY MUST BE CHRISTIANS!
From then on I started playing the game: They look the same!
So this is how it works:
Whenever you see a group of people you will notice that the people in the group look the same! This does not always work when you walk passed a family, cos then they might all have their own style! But seriously try it! When you see people who look the same you say: "HEY! they look the same!"
Last year, I had a school trip to Brussels. I told my school mates to try the game. At first some of them were skeptical, but by the end they were like: "HEY! They look the same!"
Having said all of that I just wanted to point out one of the beauties of Christianity:
No matter, who you are, what you done, where you are from, how old you are, what you education is, how many friends you have, what language you speak, you can be skinny or fat, short, or tall, Jesus loves you! He loves you so much that even though he knew all the things you were going to do, I still died on the cross, offering his life for your sins, that you might be saved from your sins, and start a new life, free to have a relationship with the living God!?
Do you want to join in the fun? We are many! You can find us on every continent! We've died to our old selves, we now live to serve the creator God, do his work, proclaiming the gospel of reconciliation, being conformed to the image of Christ to see the world as God sees it, to love like he loves, to serve as he serves!
Let me know!
Much Love,
Julian
