Can you say, "Sweet mama- jama?" I can. Twice. And why would I say such things you ask? Probably 'cuz I'm still riding high after a Sunday great morning. For those involved with my current project, you understand my hype, and I offer you my deepest gratitude for your contributions. For the rest of you wondering what in the world this cryptic paragraph is all about, it will be clear very soon. Stay tuned. Or don't. Either way I'm still gonna' tell you when it comes to fruition. Don't you feel lucky? I know I do. Like a claustrophobic clown who just learned he won't be filling in for the "human cannon ball" at that nights show. Now that's a sigh of relief.
LUKE 23:32-42 NIV
One of the things that's interesting about the thieves on the cross is that they both knew Jesus could save them. One asked to be saved with sincerity (v42), the other refused to be humble and admit his need, but still wanted salvation (v39). When the chips were down, they knew who to go to in their time of need and who could save them.
So here's a question for us. Are Jesus' characteristics — the man we are to model our lives after — so obvious in us that others come to us when they are in need? Do they know they can trust in us when heavy issues arise, and do they bring salvation related questions our direction? Every day people realize their need for God, whether they want to admit it or not. Do they know they can come to you for help?
