Spitting on Christ?

All my Christian life, I have thought what evil people they were that spit on Jesus Christ. But something changed my mind today. As I was watching a Christian movie on Netflix earlier, I was taught a lesson. In the movie, a father speaks to a son that is having trouble in his marriage and who is also unsaved. The father says to the son that ignoring the call of Jesus Christ, is like spitting in his face.
Did you know that there are Christians even today that will spit on a Jewish person because of the people who spat on Jesus? And they think that they are doing the right thing. Jesus was all about forgiveness. And besides, least we forget, Jesus Christ was a Jew. So every time a Christian spits on a Jewish person, isn't it the same as spitting on Jesus Christ. If you'll remember the Bible tells us that what we do to people and for people that we also have done unto Christ. Every time you hurt a person, you have also hurt Christ.
Now I'm going to ramble some in this blog because there are a few points that I want to make and if I stay on subject I will not get to make those points. So here I go rambling. Now mind you I am not discluding myself as I write this, because I have done many of the same things that I am speaking of. I have a dis-taste for people who sat in church with their nose high into the sky, with their better than thou attitude. I guess all of us could say we know such people. But if the truth be told we've done it ourselves, and we don't have to be in church to do it. When we treat people as if they are below us, or not as good as us, it's the same as spitting in Jesus's face. Because, Christ loves each and every person exactly the same. From the richest person, to the very poorest. He died, he gave his life for each. He did not suffer more for one than he did the other. And yet even as Christians we have not followed in Christ' footsteps. It's funny how even watching a movie, and the message that is presented is like stepping on your toes. It's a message that I needed to hear, that I needed to be reminded of.
You know God uses many venues to teach us His way, His word, and His love for us. If we have our hearts open, we will hear the message. Christianity is something like falling down and getting up, falling down and getting up, over and over and over, until the day God calls us home. Being a Christian, is not being a better person than anyone else. Being a Christian is knowing that even though we have sinned, God is faithful to forgive us, His mercy is amazing. By mercy God is withholding from us what we deserve. Each of us deserve to die for our sins. But through Jesus Christ not only are we forgiven, but then God's love gives us more. He gives us grace. through Jesus Christ. I pray every day, and every night will salvation for my family, for my country and for the world. Whether they accept Jesus as Lord and Savior now or when Jesus comes back to rule and reign as king of kings and Lord of lords, they will bow on their knees now or then. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.
