Be Challenged

I've been on a Francis Chan kick lately, and was really challenged by something he had to say.

I downloaded a podcast titled "Christ Centered Relationships" and he opens by telling his congregation that they will probably not enjoy what they (he and his wife) have to say. He goes on to say this:

A lot of you really like Jesus, but if you're honest, you don't really want to become like Him.

You admire His humility--but do you really want to be that humble?

You think it's beautiful that He washed the feet of the disciples--but who's feet are you washing?

You are thankful that Jesus was spit on and abused--but you'd never let that happen to you.

You love that He laid down His rights--but you will spend your life defending and fighting for yours.

You praise Him and sing songs to Him because He loved you enough to suffer for you while on this earth, but you're going to make sure you have fun while your down here.

You think Jesus is a great savior but not a great role model.

1 John 2:6-Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.

Be Challenged.
