Click or No
Click
It seems like every day that I see a picture on Facebook that
says, “Like if you love Jesus. Ignore if you don’t.” If you “like” those that
is perfectly fine! But if you don’t, that is perfectly fine too! Our love for Christ is not determined by
liking a picture on Facebook.
Our love is
determined by how we love Him, not how we “like”
Him. We do not earn
eternal life by clicking a picture of Jesus on Facebook and live our lives
however we want. Our youth pastor told us we all have a Death Penalty. We are all dead before Christ enters our
lives. However, we are also given a second chance, redemption. This is
possible when we pick up our crosses and follow Him. Now I’m not saying to make
a cross and carry it around. This cross is a symbol, a symbol of witnessing to
others, helping others, loving others, and pushing through when times are
tough.
We all have choices we make every day whether it is Subway or
Sonic, Fries or Tater Tots, or even Click or No Click. Whether we click or not
Christ loves us the same. You could click a million different pictures and
still be as lost on the last one as you were on the first. Our love is
determined by our actions. Yes, clicking is an action but not the right one.
Loving, caring, and being compassionate are some of the actions we need to
carry out in our day to day lives.
I have trouble with these just as much as you. I fight with
my siblings quite regularly, is that showing love? Compassion? Every time I fight
I take a step away from Christ. I can improve this, I know I can, He doesn’t
put more on our plate than we can handle. If I can improve myself you can too,
we are both human, we are both imperfect.
Salvation doesn’t come from a picture; salvation comes from
your love for the One in the picture. I dare you to love not like. I dare you to believe…
