Overheard on my travels:
“Kids like me don’t do education.” … “People from there, well they’re all
the same aren’t they?” … “If you knew what my family was like
you’d…” … “Never tried it, don’t want to try it, won’t ever try it!” …
“Don’t give me that Jesus stuff… seen the church…seen the people…”
It seems that from day one we are either building a box to live our lives
in, or having it built for us. As we get older the box gets tighter. The
walls get thicker. Any sense of the freedom Jesus died for becomes
a distant dream, some say a myth.
His challenge to us is to live outside the box. The challenge starts today
Box or freedom – it really is your choice.
