It’s called the Tale of Two Flies. One day two flies nosedive into a bowl of cream. One of them believed in God and one didn’t. I know, God believing flies! Hold on, the story gets better. The cream made their wings sticky; thus, making it impossible to get out of the bowl.
The one who didn’t believe in God decided to drink the cream and die. While the one who believed in God kept flapping his wings until butter was made and flew out.
We live in a world that needs Jesus more than ever. And yet, statistics show that less than 10% those who call themselves “born again” are making butter or experiencing Jesus change their lives so that Jesus can be seen in and through their lives. The rest have given up.
It was Gandhi who said, “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Let’s pray for the world to see and hear Jesus in His Bride, the Church. It’s drinking the cream, but needs to see and taste the butter!
