EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU JESUS?

EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU JESUS?
As you read this, think about what you would do! "Excuse me, Are you Jesus?" This is really powerful and makes one think!!!!

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago . They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which
held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly
missed boarding.

ALL, BUT ONE!!! He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his feelings, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple
stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at
their home destination, and explain his taking a later flight. Then he
returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal
floor. He was glad he did.

The 16 year old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears
running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time, helplessly
groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her. No one
stopping, and no one to care for her plight. The salesman knelt on the
floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table, and
helped organise her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them
had become battered and bruised; these he set 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 your day too badly."

As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out
to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back into those 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 a
fall. 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.

Please share this....Sometimes, we just take things for granted, when we
really need to be sharing what we know...Thanks! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY! God is on his throne-and all is right with the world!
