Is Jesus A Fad?
An awareness has come to me, one that I even questioned. It seems within the last year I’m seeing God things and Jesus things all over. In the stores, magazines, houses, etc. Now maybe this is because I have come to know God during this time, but I don’t think so. Not only was there the wonder, there was also a bit of serenity that came with it. A sense of “yeah, God is every-where”. Even the teenagers wear the name of Jesus. T-shirts “I saw God on Fort Myers Beach”, “WWJD”, etc. There are so many beautiful pictures, knick knacks, etc that talk about God, Jesus, serenity, etc. Angels, well they’re all over! I hope this means that more and more people are looking to and turning toward God. That would be honest and so forever. Whereas a fad is here today and gone tomorrow. Since God is forever, shouldn’t every-one think of Him as forever? Yet there was still this nagging question… Is Jesus a fad?
The WWJD has appeared everywhere. One teen said that she wanted to get a WWJD bracelet, then she would hopefully think to do things as she thought Jesus would. That thinking seemed so powerful, so yeah!!! Until… I walked into a store at the shopping mall. Now this store has just about everything in nice, inexpensive jewelry, haircare things, etc. This store carries the ying/yang, necklaces that represent a marijuana leaf, etc.
One whole display was on WWJD. I was so in awe to see something of Jesus in this store that has so many things NOT of Jesus. Eagerly I hurried to the display. I could almost feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck the closer I got. For satan had taken possession of this display. What a deception, something that says I’m for Jesus, represented by satan. It makes sense though if you think about it. Lucifer wants people to appear to be looking to Jesus, because they will become comfortable and complacent, so he cando his dirty deeds.
The WWJD has picked up so many sayings. What would Jesus do, why won’t Jesus die, we want Jack Daniels, etc. So something meant as good can be turned to evil. It was very disturbing to come to this reality. Am I saying that people should avoid the WWJD things? No. In a christian store the WWJD rack felt so… Jesus. I would have had no hesitation to purchase an item there. My advice…avoid things and places not of God.
God can use all things to His advantage, yet we, His children need to discern right from wrong. If you are wanting Jesus WWJD go to a place of God/Jesus to get it.
Let Him show you the way.
