Read this and be offended
So I said this a little while back to my virtual Bible study chicks, and here's what happened. "Whatever good you see in me is all Jesus. Whatever bad you see, that’s all me." Crickets. Their pride just couldn't handle it. I suppose their silence, though speaking volumes, was better than they verbally stoning me! Oh, how most still want to believe that they are "good" people. Let it go, folks! If most of us are actually "good people," then why did Jesus die? All I know is that the longer I know Jesus (35+ years now), the more I realize just how wretched I am. And I'm ok with that. Actually, I'm downright thrilled with that. Why? Because the onus of any of this being a good person falls on Jesus, His Spirit in me. I know I can't keep it up, that my "niceness" will eventually fail. But Christ's goodness and kindness? Now that's the real deal! But there is a caveat. You've got to go. Yep. That's right
