Before Christ, After Christ

April 5, 2010 in God with 14 Comments

Some of you who read this blog follow Jesus. Some of you don’t, but are curious. We had a powerful weekend at my church where hundreds of people met Jesus for the first time.

Part of that introduction came after a “skit” (for lack of a better term) where people in our church held up signs with one side reading what life was like before Christ, the other side what life was like after Christ. My sign read like this:

Before: “RULED BY RELIGION”
After: “LED BY THE SPIRIT”

In light of that post-Easter glow, I want to ask you the same question:

Using only a few words for each answer, what did your life look like before Christ and after Christ?

Everyone’s got a before, but not everyone has an after. At least, not yet.

    Before Christ: Terrified and paranoid
    After Christ: Fearless and confident through His Love.

    Before – Lost in the world's ways
    After – Found in the heart of the Lord

    Before: like a child
    After: getting closer
    Post-Christ: unencumbered connection
    Beyond: can't wait to find out
