For some reason, my Facebook feed is absolutely cluttered with post after post after post where people have some dumb image with a message that says something like this:
Share this post if you love Jesus!
or
Want to be blessed? Leave a comment that says “Yes!”
or
Don’t be ashamed of the Gospel. Tell others about Jesus by sharing this post!
or
Want an answer to prayer? Type “I claim the blood of Jesus” in the comments.
So I laughed so hard when I saw this image today:
Anyway, here is my response to these sorts of Facebook posts:
- STOP IT!
- This is why non-Christians roll their eyes at Christians and think we’re idiots.
- I am now unfriending every person who leaves a post like this on Facebook.
Following Jesus, is discipleship, and [believing] Jesus, is salvation.
One is free, the other is costly. And though both pertain to the Christian life, they have a different function, though same purpose.
Thank you. There was a time period in my life where I honestly felt guilty if I did not share them. After a while, I though God knows my heart so if I dont share them nothing bad will happen to me, there is no reason to be afraid or feel guilty.
It is like Jesus saying, “Sorry little Benji. You have to die of brain cancer because you did not get enough clicks. If Emma I Ohio would have clicked yes I would have healed you. Sorry little buddy. “
Thinks Jeremy for your dedication of teaching the truth of scripture through your podcasts,books and courses it brings such clarity and understanding to God’s great love for all mankind
