YOU DID IT TO ME
There is a story told, apocryphal, of course, about a black man in the South. It was pre-integration days and he was standing outside a church that was attended by whites only. As it happened it was quite close to where he lived, and he was seriously considering attempting to go there on a Sunday morning, rather than traveling several miles to all black church. He was standing outside; trying to get enough courage to face what would surely prove an impossible task anyway. When he looked up, and there was Jesus standing beside him.
Jesus asked him what he was doing there and he said he was trying to figure out a way to get into that church. Jesus smiled and said, “I know well how you feel. Actually I myself have been trying for years to get into that church.”
- Religion, divorced form spirituality can be very destructive.
- Christianity is about a Person, Jesus Christ, over and above any concept of doing good – praying etc.
