Bread, TP, and Jesus

What does sliced bread, toilet paper, and Christianity all have in common? At first glance you laugh, and then you’re slightly offended that those three things are even compared. We climb up on our high horse and say, “How dare you compare Christianity to toilet paper!” We go off on a tirade and tell everyone we know how horrible that comparison is. Of course if you do that, you would only be helping me make my point that much stronger.

Sliced bread, toilet paper, and Christianity are all practical things, things that are used on a regular bases. (I know Christianity is lived not used, so take a deep breath and follow my analogy for a moment.) We use items everyday and they become a natural part of our lives. Yet some how Christianity, Jesus Christ, is something so special we only experience it on Sunday morning. Like fine China, or mom’s good silver. Is that really how Jesus is supposed to be taken? Did he really do all that he did to only be experienced once a week, maybe twice? Last time I checked the bible it talked about Jesus being a life change not just an addition. We are not supposed to make the Christ and addendum in our lives, but an integral part of everything we live and do.

Living for Christ is truly a life change decision that not only changes our schedules on Sunday morning, but should inevitably impact every area of our existence.
