How many?

So today I have been thinking about a subject that makes me feel repentent... and I'm not trying to put myself on a pedestal either. I TRULY feel led to share this with you. First, a few scriptures:

1 John 2:6....Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

Romans 8:29....For those whom he forknew he also predestined to be comformed to the image of his Son, in order tha the might be the firstborn among many brothers.

John 13:13-17...You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you and example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

So here's what I've been dealing with....

We all agree that there are sometimes we come into contact with someone who may be having a very bad day or may be searching for some sense of hope...a sense of hope that can only come from Jesus. If that person knew you were a Christian, how did you represent Christ to them? What if you were the "only" glimpse of Christ they have ever seen?

What if that glimpse was enough to make them decide that "If that's how a Christian acts, I want no part of it!" ?

As Christians, we are to bridge the gap for a lost person to make it to a saving relationship with Christ...let's pray that we are always a "bridge" and not a "roadblock."

Sometimes I'm called "harsh" because of how I put things but honestly, THIS is what has been running through my mind and heart today....Let's pray that our actions didn't send anyone to hell today.
