Facebook, twitter and the likes since inception, have
brought a new dimension to our generation, to how we love, who we like down to
our religious expression, but Christ my friends is not a social exhibition;
He’s not a status update we put up on Sunday, as a
substitute to the notions we make public from Monday to Saturday. He’s not a
play thing to flow with our latest attraction, like ‘doro Jesus’ or whatever
else attracts our attention.
He’s a Nazarene slain on a roman cross, who knows fear, pain
and human loss. He’s a king who put aside his crown and owned our imperfection,
a king who lost a fight to win the battle against our fatal addiction.
I know this to most may sound like religious indoctrination,
but I’m not judging; this is only a passive observation. That the most
important of things have been made trivial by the notion, that there really is
no harm in the art of expression. Like the cross that was converted to jewelry
and for most is now only a cosmetic addition to an accessory;
Because being a Christian should not be solely a public
affair, the parade of self righteousness is almost too much to bear. It’s a day
to day way of life, for the good, for the bad, not a goodluck charm for when times get hard.
Before you ignore this as the ramblings of a writer, there are questions that are vital to answer. What have you done with the king of glory? Is he now a means to an
end? Or a lesson in history? It’s not about a like, retweet or comment on a
post, it’s not about mentions or a prayer shared the most. As Christians we
need to make this one modification, and learn to not treat Christ like a social
exhibition.
Hear! Hear!
