S05E066, Faith and Crutches, Andy B 2 Minute Video

Have you ever witnessed somebody become a Christian? I’ve been privileged to see this quite a few times. Each occasion was utterly different from the next. But the one thing that always followed that moment of saying ‘yes’ to Jesus Christ was an inescapable, infectious, impossible to miss joy!

When I was at school I vividly remember someone trying to ask me a question. I say trying, as it was more accusational than inquisitive. Their conclusion, simply, was that I was weak because I only used my faith as a crutch. When I told them that they were quite correct, that evidently was not the answer they had hoped for, as they were left just a little surprised.

Life can be pretty tough. There is so much that can cause us to feel anxious and to hide away from danger! But since there will never be enough cotton wool for that, what is the solution for those of us who know Jesus Christ?

That’s where Joy comes in. Fun is great, but joy is everlasting and doesn’t depend on our circumstances.

I’m not naïve enough to think that things don’t come along that make us feel as though we can’t breathe because of what is happening around us, or to us – I survived the largest mainland bomb in British history so I know life can be suddenly, dramatically, life defining and terrifying. 

But I also know that, with Jesus Christ, there is always a tomorrow, and that is just as exciting as the joy we can experience today.

Just a thought…
