“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; May 30, 2008

                                     

         As Jesus was beginning His public ministry at the age of about thirty He was reintroduced to a group of followers by John the Baptist who proclaimed, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)  Here He was, the Son of a carpenter and a carpenter Himself from the rural town of Nazareth and now He was being called their “Messiah”.  Before those who had known Him previously could be effective disciples, they had to see Him in a new light.

          Today, we want to call upon you to be a religious person; but, for some, that might be easier said than done.  What has been your experience with religion?  Was it something your family ignored when you were a child?  Have you had a negative experience with a bad church or an evil church-goer?  Has religion been nothing more than a guilt-factory for you? 

          If you have had anything less than a positive experience with religion, we want you to give it a second-chance and look at it through new eyes.  If you would like some help seeing religion; again, for the first time, give us a shot.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
