Subject: Are You Jesus?

> The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put

> aside in another basket.

> When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl,
> "Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay! ?" She
> nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we didn't spoil

> As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called

> blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?"
>
> He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way
> to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about
> in his soul: "Are you Jesus?"
>
> Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not?
> To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we
> live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace.
>
> If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would.
> Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church.
>
> It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.

> You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been bruised by

> He stopped what He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill
> called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit.
>
> Let us live like we are worth the price He paid!!!!!
