My Jesus is Always on Display

A couple of weeks ago I helped some clients who were Mormon. We had developed some rapport . . . enough so that they even asked me, “so when are you going to join the church?” I told them that I was a Christian to which they replied, “So are we.” YUCK! Anyway, I moved on and haven’t thought too much about that until today when one of them came in furious. What about? A card he had ordered didn’t come the exact way he had specified. He was angry and mad and I couldn’t help but remember that this guy had actually invited me to his church. Wow! I quickly began to realize that when I claim to be a Christian, my Jesus (the only true Jesus) is always on display as well. Though I had already known this truth, it has simply been made more concrete. I am suddenly more aware of my own dealings with people that I do business with and how I have not always been the best display case for Christ. I now resolve to live my life as a display case for Christ regardless of whether things go my way or not!
