There is an old English saying that people use when they want to show the difference between two things. People would say that they are as different as Chalk and Cheese. We might update that saying a little and say that they are as different as Skaters and Punks or as different as My Space and My Little Pony. It really doesn’t matter what we say the point is the two things are massively different. Wouldn’t it be cool if the saying became as different as Christ Followers and Non Christians? The difference between the way we behave at college and school, and the way others behave becomes so obvious that people use that as a saying. Of course for that to happen you and I would have to treat the homeless different to the way others do. We would have to treat the nerds different to the way others at school do. We would have to live our whole life different to the way others do. We would need to look at each and every situation in our lives and ask ourselves, if Jesus was here with me now how would he have me react in this situation. Of course we wouldn’t need Jesus to be there with us, because you and I both know that when we comes across those situations we know fine well how Jesus would react. Sounds all too hard to me. Shall we go back to dissing the nerds? Shall we go back to laughing at the homeless? Shall we go back to living our lives just like everyone else? Or are you up for a real adventure; are you as different as a Christ Follower and a Non Christian?
