Now that the election has passed us for almost two weeks I am reflecting on the day of and days leading up to it. If you are like most Americans it wasn't hard to find people out on the street corner or on the steps of a city hall holding up a sign proclaiming their support for a prospective official. Some would even go so far to make their sign about a foot bigger than the opposing supporter's sign. Let's face it.. we live in a culture that loves a good fight. The sad part about it is that elections occur almost every year and you will see people standing outside in every sort of weather protesting and proclaiming who they think will do the best in an elected office. They will yell, scream, dance, wave, make cookies that for some reason resemble the official they plan to vote for, and even shave their heads with only the candidates name remaining just to get the word out.
Yet we live every day with a daily knowledge that Christ is alive and working and wants to be everyone's King and Savior and we keep it to ourselves. The greatest truth and the most powerful message is less likely to be heard than a political ad or colorful sign. We hide it.. "let the church handle that".. we encounter soo many people every day whether it is in a hallway or an aisle at the grocery store and we pass on the opportunity of showing our sign.
So where's your sign at? Do they know who you support? Are you telling people that Christ is alive and is in the business of saving people? Where is the sign that proclaims that the only true HOPE resides in the cross of Christ Jesus our God? Where's your sign?
