Are people understanding


"You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across, your ideas won’t get you anywhere.” - Lee Iacocca

One of the ideas that Iacocca and Chrysler got across was the mini-van. Chrysler had a really good idea that people really wanted. (even though they didn't know they wanted it.) So Iacocca took this struggling company and used its limited resources to pitch the mini-man. I think he did it pretty well. :-) The American family responded and the mini-van craze was birthed.

As I was reading that quote the other day and thinking about our first Dodge Caravan, it really forced me to think about how we as the Body of Christ are doing at getting across the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please understand that we have the most amazing message ever: God has made a way for sinful man to come into relationship with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. That is really good news. And people want that message. (Even though they don't know it yet.) Are we communicating that message well?

I may take a few posts this week to contemplate what it means to be an Ambassador for Christ. It's an amazing privilege that God has given us and we should take it very seriously.
