That doesn't mean it's not truth. Jesus told us that we would be hated because He was hated. It it what it is.
But I don't want to dwell in it.
I'd rather talk about the picture itself, birds traveling in their little design, sort of like the bumper art on so many of our cars.
There, that's where I want to go with this post! Those little fish bumper stickers that you see on people's cars. I have a friend that has 2 big fish and 3 little fish representing their family. Stinkin' cute idea, but my bumper isn't big enough for my family. And I have a friend with 7 kids - forgetaboutit!
So what happens when the car that just cut you off on the highway says, "Howdy," flashing the big silver fishy on his rear end? Ooops. I have a feeling I've been that car before. Sorry 'bout that.
The fact is, we probably all have been guilty of displaying ourselves as Christians and then, in a self-absorbed moment, reacted poorly. That just means we have a reason to need a savior.
But the world looking on doesn't get it. They have expectations of Christians and we have to be as careful as possible to be sincere in our faith and our walk with the Lord. Folks are watching. If you don't believe me, take your little fishy bumper and start riding along the shoulder of the road in traffic!
I've seen a number of fish bumper stickers. I've also seen an atheistic one where the fish had legs. My favorite was a take off on that. The fish was eating the one with legs!
What are some of the best bumper stickers you've seen?
