Sidewalk Prophets

There comes a point in our lives when we’re confronted with a question…one that faces all of us who struggle in the face of addiction, sickness, brokenness and loneliness. That question is this: What exactly is this life for? It’s in those times that we’re reminded of those who have impacted our life…grandparents, parents, teachers and pastor. We realize that in them we saw a deep passion, an unashamed faith and a love that knew no bounds. Whether they knew it or not, we saw Christ in them. There’s a passage in Hebrews that gives us strength…

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. (Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV)

When we leave this world, our desire is to have others say “I want to live like THAT” not because of how we lived for ourselves, but because of how we let Christ live through us. We want to be known as men who’ve laid it all out on the line for the sake of having Christ speak through us…not for our glory but for HIS. We want to live like THAT!
