Does Jesus Embarrass You

Does Jesus Embarrass You? I’ve a "brother." I won't mention his name. A follower of Jesus is what he proclaims. When you come and knock on his door. You can hear footsteps across the floor. Rather than answering and inviting you in. He won't answer the door, if you're not his friend. He's quick to judge you. And don't call him at home. If he knows it's you. He hangs up the phone. There's many "Christians" like him, who are "immature." Living an empty life that's shallow and insecure. Has he thought oft the meaning of the cross? Aren't we to love one another. No matter the cost? Perhaps people like him serve a "different" Jesus than I do. They can't seem to say the words; "I LOVE YOU!" By Jim Pemberton 11/11/17
