Extravagant

Sometimes it is really easy to forget that people are watching us. And they know we're Christians and they're judging us. It is unpopular to say things like that. But it is true. Check out this story from CNN.

In short, a robber comes in to a store and asks for money. The owner pulls out a gun. While trying to convince the owner to not call the police, the robber reveals that he has no money and is out of food. The owner (a Muslim) gives the thief $40 and a loaf of bread. The robber decides that this Muslim man is so good, he ought to become a Muslim also. He converts.

I wonder how often our extravagant mercy and grace show the world how Christ has changed us. Probably not very often.

I wonder when the last time was that someone could see Jesus' love through me...
