Here's something you can carry with you to work tomorrow (in addition to your lunch). In fact, you might want to pull it out of your lunch sack (or whatever you carry your lunch in) and think about it before you share a meal with someone at your table. It's something Bill Hybels said in his book Just Walk Across the Room.
When Jesus was pointing people to faith, he unapologetically told them that the life he offered was the best kind of life any human being could ever experience. In the Gospel of Matthew, he compared it to a pearl of great price, which he said would be worth giving up everything to attain.
"If you want life in all its fullness," he said, "if you want high-definition, surround-sound, heart-pounding action, there's only one place you're going to find it. A life like that is a life fully yielded to the God of the universe!"
I hope we'll renew our commitment to exhibiting this level of confidence and passion when we talk about our faith. Is there a more important message than the one we're carrying to the world?
Pack that challenging good news in your vintage lunch pail (right next to your olive loaf sandwich) and have a GREAT day!
