Something To Think About...
A little old Jewish lady is flying out of New York City on her way to Miami Beach. She looks at the businessman sitting next to her and asks him, “Excuse me sir, but are you Jewish?”
The man responds politely, “No, ma’am, I’m not Jewish.”
After a little while she again questions him. “You’re really Jewish, aren’t you?”
Again he responds, “No, ma’am, I am not Jewish.”
Barely 10 minutes later, the little old lady asks him once more, “Are you sure you’re not Jewish?”
To which, in irritation and in a final effort to shut her up, he replies, “OK. Yes, ma’am, I am Jewish.”
“Funny,” she says, looking puzzled. “You don’t look Jewish!”
Makes me wonder. If anyone approached me and asked me, “Are you a Christian?” and I answered, “Yes”, would they be inclined to say, “Funny, you don’t look like a Christian.”
I’m not talking about looking like the world’s stereotype of a Christian...a sour-looking guy with a frown on his face, not enjoying life at all. I merely wonder if my Christianity is something that can be seen by the people who see me everyday. I know what I believe, but is that belief translating into action? Can anyone tell?
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill...let your light shine before others, so they my see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)
Do you look like a Christian?
