Are you afraid of what people will do if they know your a christian?
Do you grumble, in your mind and heart..."Here we go again, back to church for Wednesday Pray meeting." Put on your mask, smile and say, "It's great to be here."
(1 Corinthians 4:16) "So I urge you to imitate me."
Why do we wear masks. At church we wear our church mask; at work we wear our work mask; at home we wear our home mask; at school we wear our school mask. If we are with friends we wear our friends mask.
If we live for Christ, we shouldn't have a mask.
(Matthew16:24) "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If any of you wants to be My follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow Me..."
Christ didn't wear a mask, he wore a crown of thorns.
If we are to imitate Him, remove your masks, let people see, REALLY see, Christ in you ...at church, at home, at school, with friends... everywhere, all the time.
With masks on, we can fool anyone....but the One that matters.
(1 Samuel 16:7) "...The Lord doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
