Transformers!



Last night I was having a hard time falling asleep. One of the things that came to mind for some reason, was the devotion for this month. And for some reason, what came to mind is the image of Christ. Ya know, people were first CALLED Christians at Antioch; it was brought to my attention that they didnt name themselves. they were called that. Which means people could see Christ through their actions. That's a very important thing, to uphold the image of Christ. Probably one of the main religions on Myspace is "Christian-other". People put that, but then you look at their pictures or something, and you start second-guessing their so-called "religion." (which FYI: Christianity isnt a religion, it's a relationship.)
So everyone's been hyped up about the new Transformers movie. When we get saved, we should be turned into a transformer. The only difference is, we cant (or shouldnt) go back to the way we were. It's talked about in Romans 12:1-2:

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Like i said earlier when i was having trouble sleeping, I thought about what I think the closest thing to representing God or Jesus here on earth. The very first thing i came to was a soldier. Soldiers die for their families and friends, their country and freedom. They die not only for those things, but people who hate them. It kills me to see people call themselves "Christians" and protest at a soldier's funeral. They say they love God, but they don't really show it.
There's a song called The Difference by Philmont. And basically what it's saying is, if you truly have God in your life, it shows. It has to show. Otherwise no one will believe you or listen to you.

So I wanna know, what do you think represents Christ here on earth? I still think it's a Soldier: someone who's not afraid to stand for what he believes in, even if it means death.
