Jesus Has a Secret Admirer

Crap. It’s the Church. Rather than the Church being Jesus’ secret admirers who cringe at the thought of public identification of belief in His redeeming person and work, the Church should rather be disciples of Jesus characterized by His commands. Don’t give Jesus flowers or even a financial offering and “call it even” and fool yourself into thinking this is a pleasing offering. This is cultural Christianity that is so diluted it is barely recognized by anyone and hardly respected. Plus, you won’t find any praise in Scripture for this sort of weak devotion. Give Jesus your life. That ain’t secret.  That is what discipleship means. Anything less is not Christlike as He gave His life for the world to believe and be redeemed from sin. He didn’t call the Church to be His admirers – He called the Church to be bold in the world and be His followers. The word “commitment” is a dirty word in our world today. To what is there a more worthwhile commitment? Jesus has billions of admirers, but few disciples.
