Advertisements interest me - some times. In these days of recording and on-demand, advertisements are not "must see". It is easy to fast forward through the commercials. I am sure this creates all sorts of conversation in ad agency board rooms.
I sort of miss commercials. They do stay with us.
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, o what a relief it is.
You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.
Tony the Tiger says "they're great!"
All sorts of stuff that is really bad for you - the beer commercials and tobacco ads.
Others.
See the USA in your Chevrolet.
All these - think about your own favorites - marketed something to the general public.
The Apostle Paul wrote an advertising statement.
"For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession..." (I Corinthians 4:9)
I am taking this whole idea totally out of context to make a point! The point is, we are advertisements for Christ.
We who follow Jesus are in the parade. The universe sees Christ-followers. Angels see us. Other people see us. We are the advertisers for Christ.
We have a unique opportunity during this time of coronavirus. We may become advertisements for how to live well.
We may show others how to express faith when others are fearful.
We become the people who offer a different view, a different take on life, a more compelling vision for life.
We are advertisements for God.
No pressure.
Let God write your script today. While others look, may they be drawn to what we offer. Grace. Faith. Hope. Love.
This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
