Keep it the same

"But some of you do not believe me." (John 6:64 NLT)

This was Christ talking to some of His "disciples" who wanted to leave Him.  Some people saw Christ & still couldn't believe.  How sad.  That shows me that you can show Christ to people but you can't make them accept Him.  The other thing it shows me is that Christ was who He was.  Even when they were thinking about leaving, He stayed the same.  He don't negotiate, try to persuade them,  or condense His word.  He gave them the opportunity to follow Him but He didn't try to force them & He didn't chase after them.  Sometimes I think we try to water down Christs message, create a new program, entertain them, etc. to get them to follow Christ.  That was not the example we were given.  Christs message is enough.  It is powerful & it changes lives.  If we start trying to change it or make it easier to handle or picking & choosing what we share, we lose it's power.  Keep the message the same.  Present it & let God do the work.  Don't be one who saw but didn't believe.
