A Christian is one who strives to be like Jesus, but many of us has failed.
So as a Christian I would like to apologize.
You know it's plenty of times that people have told me that us so called Christians are often the most hypocritical people and often the most hurtful people they have ever dealt with, and all along I didn't think nothing of it ,But today I apologize for all of us so called Christians out here.
It's apparent to me today that most people have denied Jesus Christ, not because they don't believe He exists or because they have known Him and didn't like His ways, but simply because the people they have met who called themselves Christians have been nothing like Christ.
So I'm sorry for the Christian who didn't care for your needs, but only told you how wrong you lived and that you will go to hell.
I'm sorry for the Christian who only cared to show you how better they were than you.
I'm Sorry If you found church to be a place where people danced, and you didn't know why and no one cared to tell you.
I'm sorry for the pastors who preached a message you didn't understand and no one cared to explain it.
I'm sorry for the people who made you think that the Bible is about following Rules.
I'm sorry for the people who made you think being a Christian is about being perfect.
I'm sorry for the people that made you think that you have to be a certain way or look a certain way to be a Christian.
I'm sorry for the churches who made you feel like you weren't good enough, or you weren't dressed good enough to enter them.
I'm sorry for the churches that just never took the time to get to know you, to make you feel like you were part of them, a family, and I'm sorry for the boring pastors who made you hate church.
I'm sorry for Christians who took more from you than they gave back to you.
And I can keep on going, man aren't we some twisted Christians, so I come to you, asking for your forgiveness people. Please forgive us, because we are a poor reflection of Jesus, and we are nothing like Him, so Please don't deny Jesus because of me, because of US, because the Jesus we serve is not a God of rules, He doesn't want you when you perfect, He doesn't just have rules for you to follow, He is a friend, He is a comforter, He is a deliverer. The Jesus we serve IS NOTHING LIKE ME. The Jesus we serve cares for what you have to say, He Loves You just as you are, with everything you have done, and He died for you so you can spend eternity with Him in Heaven.
This is a Challenge for Christians, it's not to put you down, but to show you that we have failed in many areas, we are to be a light to the world, the light of Jesus, and I don't know how many of us are anymore.
You know it's funny but 'THE HARSHEST WORDS JESUS EVER SAID' weren't to thieves, or prostitutes, or strippers, or drug addicts or drug dealers, or anybody that was openly living a sinful lifestyle, NO, The Harshest words of Jesus were aimed at Pharisees, the people who were hypocrites, the ones who pretended to be so religious, so better than everyone, people who acted like they knew it all and they were so Holy, fake Christians. So I'm Sorry Once Again, Please Forgive US and I promise You that Christ is Will be the Best thing You ever knew, because He is nothing like me, Again.
