It's easier to wear a cross than to carry one
Leo
Tolstoy said, “The Jew … is the
embodiment of eternity.” My wife is Jewish. She’s taught me a lot about basic
Judaism, about doing, about hoping, about being benevolent (Mitzvah) and oy-vey
about eating and laughing - we do laugh, a lot. But I also learned from her
that her people, ostensibly, don’t pursue new converts. They welcome newcomers
to the faith, but they’re not all about recruiting. Conversely, Christians are
urged by the Scriptures to "go and make disciples" and for
the most part, the Christian community is not very good at it. Most believers want
to make converts, but making disciples is harder. Making a disciple requires a continuous
process of leading, following, learning and doing. Continuous, the word denotes
effort, commitment and resiliency. It’s way easier to wear a cross than it is to
carry one. Think about that before you go and make…
