Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-- almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity and by one who practices it.
During World War II, an American Sunday School teacher who was in the Pacific had captured a Japanese soldier. In marching the soldier to camp, the American discovered that his prisoner spoke English. "You know what," said the Japanese soldier. "I was once a Christian." The American deliberated a moment and then said, "Why did you give up Christianity?" A look of surprise came upon the Japanese soldier, and he answered with a puzzled expression, "How can I be a soldier and still be a Christian?"
I have found most people still in favor of the war, thus the killing, are Christians. How can this be? I always ask myself what would Jesus want me to do? Would he want me to go into another country with self-righteousness and decide what is best for the people? He would remind me to take care of the log in my own eye before I would busy myself with the splinter in my neighbors eye, would he not.
