This last week at youth group, our youth pastor asked us, "How would you introduce Jesus?" He then asked us to write down our responses, and I thought I'd share mine:
Do you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Well, I do! I just love a good old PBJ with some nice, creamy peanut butter and good old strawberry jelly. But here's the thing - I don't like the crust. Well, I'll eat it if it's honey wheat bread, but if it's whole wheat... ew. All those grains are so dry, it just tastes too healthy, I can't take it! I'm just trying to relive my good old kindergarten days, and these little grains are ruining my vibe! Well, have you heard of a guy named Jesus? Now he's the kind of guy who eats the who PBJ, even the crust. He doesn't care about the little grains. He doesn't even care if it's crunchy or creamy peanut butter, or whether it's grape or strawberry jelly. He eats that entire sandwich, and he enjoys it. You know, Jesus is the same way with people! He loves them, no matter what. He doesn't care about who they are, what they've done, what sins they've committed. He loves them, and he loves them even with the grains on the crust. And he loves YOU too, whether you're crunchy or creamy, strawberry or grape. Because that's who Jesus is - the ultimate PBJ lover.
