I read a story this week of a 7 year old boy who sat listening on a Sunday morning to the Pastor's sermon. When the service was over he patiently waited his turn to talk to the minister. His first words were, "You said that Jesus wants to live in our hearts right?" The Pastor, impressed that the boy had been listening so intently responded, "Why yes, that's right." The boy with a thoughtful look on his face then asked, "How big do you think Jesus is?" The Pastor smiled down at thew youngster and said, Well, when he was here on earth he was a carpenter, so he was probable a big strong man." The boys expression changed from thoughtful to puzzled as he said, "Well if he is that big, but I am so small ... wouldn't he stick out?" "Yes," said the Pastor, "I think that is the point."
How big is your Jesus? Does he "stick out" of your life? Or are you able to hide him away so that no one knows you are a Christian? If so, maybe you need a bigger Jesus!
John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
