It's All About Jesus!

7/22/2019

   I was riding around my hometown of Scotia, NY with my wife, Sandy. I had just recently attended my 50th high school reunion. Now that was a "trip"—in a good way—and I'll be happy to share some more that another time. I was satisfied to cruise by my family's old houses, and just think back on 50+ years ago and how life was for me growing in the 50's and 60's. Of course, a lot had changed, but then again a lot had not.

   Anyways, on our site-seeing jaunt we ran into this garage on the side of the street and it had, "It's All About Jesus!" proudly displayed for all to see... and ponder.

   Now this proclamation was not new to me. Indeed, it had been humbly modeled and repeatedly announced by a dear sister that I got to know many years back. And her "witness" had touched me so much that I just had to write about it. And it is a story that is found in my book, Discovering Jesus in the Least. The following is reprinted from the book.

   There’s this one sister who puts a smile on my face nearly every time I see her. Maybe that’s because she always had a smile on her face. Janice was a humble, sweet lady, who carried herself with a lot of poise and dignity. But it did appear as if she was just caught up in another universe. I mean, she would hear whatever it was that you said, but it didn’t seem to matter much to her.

   In any case, this sister would come by to visit intermittently, whenever she felt led. And the one utterance that would spring from Janice’s lips more often than not was: “It’s all about Jesus!” It became her mantra, and it soon became mine whenever our paths would cross.

  One day we were short-handed on the serving line, so I asked her if she wouldn’t mind helping to serve the food to our guests. She readily agreed, and joined right in with our other volunteers. As each person made their way through the serving line, many of them were greeted with “It’s all about Jesus!” as they were receiving their food.

  As I was watching her I felt a little uneasy, thinking, “Oh no, did I make a mistake? Maybe her approach is going to turn folks off.” But then I continued to observe the reactions of most of our guests. Frankly, most folks didn’t seem to pay much attention to her mantra. They were just happy to receive some food, and move on down the line.

  But I’m sure she also received her share of mixed reactions. In other words, some would’ve readily agree with her mantra, and offer an affirmative response. Others, in all likelihood, were not so amused. And some were undoubtedly more than a little irked at this sister’s seeming insensitivity. Not one to get overly concerned, I chose to just sit back and think about the profundity of what she was saying.

  To be sure, I agree with her that it really is “all about Jesus!” And so, if “it” really is all about Jesus then what’s wrong with expressing our beliefs—even if it’s done in an unconventional manner or at an unexpected moment? If the lady’s tone is sincere and humble, and she’s just being herself—I mean, I don’t think I have a problem with that.

  And I can guess who else doesn’t have a problem with it. After all, Jesus, said it referring to himself in so many different ways. He was declaring in no uncertain terms: “It’s all about me!” (See John 8:12, 11:25, 14:6, to cite a few examples)

  And so, if this is true, then Janice’s way of praising his being will be more than welcome. For myself, I freely admit that I’d much rather hear this truth proclaimed from this sister’s lips than from almost anyone else. When she says it, I believe it a little more so.

Thanks for stopping by.

#Prayer Lord, there are many times in my life that I do not understand the reason that You allow certain things to happen, but help me to simply trust You in all things and enable me to pray that Your will be done and not mine. Open my understanding to all that You are seeking to teach me and may I grow in grace as I submit to Your will for my life - in Jesus name I pray, Amen. #verseoftheday #prayeroftheday #AllAboutJesus #havefaith https://www.instagram.com/p/CbzJ-HBLP-0/?utm_medium=tumblr
