Don’t Look, Keep Walking

A common cure for dealing with the uncomfortable situations of life…don’t look, keep walking.  That’s the one I often employ when encountering someone appearing to be homeless.  I don’t throw out the cheery “Good morning” that I might send the way of a suit dressed citizen and, if I think there may be a plea for money coming my way, I’m apt to look away and speed up my steps a bit.  Is that what Jesus would do?

The Bible records many instances of Jesus meeting strangers and helping them in various ways.  Here are a few…

He never seemed troubled by how to act and this is a great lesson for myself and others who call themselves Christians.  I don’t like to think about it too much, but sometimes I wonder what type of taste for the Christian faith I’ve left in someone’s mouth by the way I treated them.

How have you been treated by one of my brothers or sisters in Christ?  Hope to hear some encouraging stories of how your life was touched by someone you might not even have known.

He Rose…Right?

The word, ‘undeniable’, for me, is one of those words that sounds like nails screeching on a blackboard when I hear it, and yet I went searching for such a word for this article.

The Elon Small Group is a weekly, Sunday morning study, in the Digging Deeper Class of the Lamb’s Chapel in Burlington, NC.  On their blog, I found an article titled, Three Undeniable Proofs of the Resurrection.  I don’t dispute the three proofs but I do wonder what impact that one word has on people who still have some questions about the whole story of Christianity.

As that type of reader of their article, there’s no way to immediately determine exactly what they meant by their use of ‘undeniable’ or why they chose it over another word.  About all you can do is fall back on the word’s meaning.  According to Merriam-Webster, the basic connotation is: plainly true – incontestable, and their definition for English language learners makes it even easier to grasp: clearly true – impossible to deny.

Would a reader with doubts about Jesus feel that a discussion would be possible with the author or the members of the Digging Deeper Class?  What if they had visited the church and later read the post; how comfortable would the typical person be toward asking a question about something unchallengeable or irrefutable?

In the event you don’t hop on over and read the Elon Small Group’s article, here are the three proofs…

  • Proof One – Jesus’ Tomb was Empty
  • Proof Two – The Early Church Believed Jesus Rose from the Dead
  • Proof Three – People Claimed to See Jesus

I believe in all three but the big question is, for me, who would you be most likely to ask for more information…someone who had gone on record as saying the three proofs were undeniable or a person who claimed to believe them but was willing to listen respectfully to any questions you might have?  My guess is that more people would turn away from the ‘undeniable’ minded Christian and I don’t want that to be me.  In fact, just the opposite is true.  I’m hoping that someone will reach out with questions about the three proofs or anything else related to Christ, the Bible, Christianity or the church, because they feel safe.  That’s what Nothing Forced is all about.
