The Beautiful Path

Jesus loves you. 👆👆

The kids pointed their fingers at each other and said those words—it melted my heart.

So that Sunday, we talked about the Great Commission and how Jesus instructed His friends to make more friends for Him.

And really, thinking about it that way simplifies evangelism a little bit.

Don’t get me wrong—the Great Commission is a very serious task.
It’s business.

But instead of carrying a heavy mindset about it—and then not doing it because it sounds difficult...
I mean, it’s a big thing to bring somebody from one end of the bargain to another.

So instead of not doing it at all, procrastinating, and waiting for the perfect way to do it,

we can start by seeing it simply: we're making more of Jesus' friends.

That’s the assignment we gave the kids—
Wherever you go—school, church, the street—point at someone and say:
“Jesus loves you.”
That’s simple, right?

And friends, that could be the best thing that happens to someone that day.

Telling them “Hey, Jesus loves you” could tear down their wall of defense
or whatever has been blocking their heart.

So yes, it’s a big deal to be a friend of Jesus.
If you’ve been my friend on social media—or in real life—and you're not already a friend of Jesus,

I want us to take this friendship a notch higher. This is the best friendship ever.

Because Jesus is that Friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Come to Him today.
Jesus loves you. 👆👆

Just a reminder that it’s okay to be different.

It’s okay to be the odd one out.

It’s okay to be the person that others perceive as always serious and not doing what everyone else is doing.

In fact, start practicing being different (in a positive way, biko kwa).

Because the days are coming when the world wants everyone to agree with them, no matter what.

The Bible refers to us as a peculiar people, so why should we want to blend in with the world?

Why should we get upset when people call us names like "Jew guy" or ask, "Are you the only one who will go to heaven?"

"Peculiar" means to be strange, so it’s perfectly fine to be "strange" in a strange world.

We must not conform to the world; instead, we should be transforming it.

Selah!
