Car Signs

Okay, I read bumper stickers too. Some make me feel violated, others make me laugh and some make me aggravated. Just today after leaving Wal-Mart, I ended up in an awkward place in the parking lot. Cars kept piling up at the stop sign and no one was kind enough to let me pull out to get in line for the stop sign. As I'm sitting there I kept watching car after car go by. I finally see this nice van in view and noticed that he had a license plate on the front that said, "Jesus". It was in bold and italics, something like "Jesus" on a silver plate, all shiny and stuff. I couldn't help it, I thought this guy was gonna let me out 'cause he's a Christian and all. I mean he even had on his Sunday go to meeting clothes!!!! Before I knew it he passed me right by and I couldn't help but shout out loud in my car, windows were up of course, "Well Jesus would have let me out!!!" I said it before I knew it. I know, mild case of road rage. A couple cars after the Jesus van went by a young guy, dressed casual and polite too, let me pull out. He didn't have a sign on his car but he sure was acting like Jesus would and that was putting others before himself.

I couldn't help but think how many of us profess we are Christians and wear the name of Jesus yet fail to follow in His footsteps by putting others before ourselves. I could go on and on because this lesson would teach but I'll spare you my thoughts on this. I do hope it gives you some food for thought like it has me. Ouch!

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon.
