A person doing something very cool (for Jesus). |
Which means that I shouldn't be looking around to find cool things to do so that I can entice people into Christianity through the cool route. Rather, I should be doing what I already do for the sake of Christ. At this moment in time, that means I should be doing the school run for Jesus, changing nappies for Jesus, bottle feeding for Jesus, giving out pocket money for Jesus ... and everything else I do should be for him too.
Colossians 3:23 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men". Whatever you do! Not, 'find something cool to do for Jesus', but, 'whatever it is you already do, you should be doing it for Jesus.' So when, like the guy who wrote Ecclesiastes, we're thinking,
"Everything's boring, utterly boring -
no one can find any meaning in it.
Boring to the eye,
boring to the ear.
What was will be again,
what happened will happen again.
There's nothing new on this earth.
Year after year it's the same old thing." (The Message)
we need to remember that we should be doing everything for Jesus. What we're doing might not matter as much as who we're doing it for.
