How is my Driving?

You know what could possibly be my least favourite "Christian" thing I see is? The Jesus fish on the car! Man does it boil my blood! I have no problem with representing Jesus wherever I go, but not while I am driving. I just see it as too much of a risk. You know what happens? Johnny Christian is driving along in his Honda, sporting a shiny Jesus fish on his rear bumper and bam! He goes through a stop sign or cuts someone off. As they drive away everyone shaking their head at his driving now has a great view of the religion Johnny supports.



I know I might be being a little overexaggerated in this but I do find it annoying that Christians try to represent Jesus while they drive like a maniac. I by no means drive like a saint, hence the reason I don't have a Jesus fish on my car. I don't want people getting mad at me while I drive and then see I'm a Christian. I feel as though that could be a shot at all Christians.

This is all to raise a point. The Jesus fish is a silly example of how people represent Jesus in public. In many of our workplaces, people know we are Christian's, the same goes for in our families. Our actions, like it or not are a reflection on our relationship with Jesus. When we drive stupid, or cut cormers at work we could actually be turning off people from Jesus.

I know that no one can be perfect. That's not what I am saying we need to be. All I am trying to communicate is that we need to be more vigelent and aware of how we reprent Christ. I truly believe our strong work ethic at our workplace could reveal something about Jesus that could draw someone closer to Him. This is a challenge to me, just as much as it is for anyone else.
