Well, if you are a Christian, you fully understand that we are no better, despite the misconception others may have. So in this season of celebration of our Savior's birth, keep in mind that people watch us, and right or wrong, form generalizations about us as a group. We are people,we make mistakes . . .big ones sometimes. The difference is Jesus, plain and simple.
An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy
boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him.
He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could
have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof--and the horn--screaming in
frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked
up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered
her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police
station
where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed and placed in a
holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the
door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting
officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind
your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in
front
license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the
'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker and the chrome-plated
Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen
the car."
