When the world goes looking for something better, it should be looking for Christ and the church.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!” (John 12:19 NKJV)
In the past many turned away from the church looking for something better. Now they seems to be looking back to see if maybe they missed something. Organized religion has seemed to be the bane of many peoples existence for a long time. People left in droves and began looking for their something more in all the wrong places.
But as the world looks back at organized religion we must stay true to the Word. We cannot soften or change the message to suit people’s needs. They need to hear the truth of Christ and Him crucified. They need to hear us talk about sin straight from scripture while loving them with welcoming arms. The Message is The Message and that should not change. It is we who should change and help them to understand we too are all searching, we simply have found Christ.
Reflect on: How you might help those looking back at religion to see the light of Christ.
