Let's Just Be Christians
“But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up; I too am just a man.” (Acts 10:26)
An astonishing aspect to the spread of Christianity is the lack of notoriety sought by the apostles. When Peter had an opportunity to receive veneration by new Gentile converts, he refuses it. Paul likewise exhibited this aversion to worship and honor. Unlike almost every other religious movement in the history of the world, the leaders of the early church clothed themselves with humility and equality to those they were teaching and leading. How did Christianity spread? It spread by honest, servant-hearted leaders who sought to conform themselves to Christ’s character.
Tired of religious corruption and scandals? Me, too.
Let’s just be Christians.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
