I was sent a youtube clip this week which was called Why I hate religion and love Jesus which tried to make the point that sometimes people who use the label Christian seem to have lost sight of what Jesus was really teaching.
The point was strongly made and is not a new one, after all didn't Jesus make the same point about the established religion and what God really wanted, we don't have to look much further than the parable of the Good Samaritan to see what he thought of those who preached religion but did not practise it.
When we hear all the rhetoric from politics in the USA just now we might be tempted to think that little has changed . It easy to point the finger, and the clip makes no mention of all those involved in wonderful work in the name of Christ, however it is worth challenging ourselves from time to time .
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Luke 10:37
