Connect Day 28

There are many ways to get famous, other than shooting the president. And you can get paid for it too. For example, the STA Travel grant, who gave money or air ticket to people who want to do something good for the world, and willing to share their experiences.

To make fame more rewarding, we have to focus on the cause. Dying for something doesn't justify the cause well enough. For example, recently a depressed mother hung her 3 children and herself, maybe she thought that she would end the suffering for the whole family, and she did it out of love (or despair). But what she did put an end to her children's hopes and future as well.

Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for our sins. Now, this is different, because He provided a solution to an eternal problem. In fact, He is the ONLY solution. Not only did he become famous, he also became infamous! So much for rising up again on the third day. To some people, Mother Teresa has got more glory than Jesus. If the gospel is false, then it's just like any other religion that we know, it's good to know but it's best not to get too fanatical. But if the gospel is true, then it's extremely important, because Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and Life. NO ONE comes to the Father but through ME"!

Too often we look at christians' lifestyle and we conclude that the gospel must be false, because there's no evidence of the truth of the gospel. Perhaps the only difference is that they waste their sundays in church. And we forgot that Jesus also knew about it (Mat 7:13-28) and called us to walk in the narrow path that leads to life. Do you know of anyone who is walking that narrow path? Don't you want to be one as well?
