When you're working in marketing - people are always looking at your USP - Unique Selling Point.
What is it for Christianity?
Maybe it doesn't quite meet the definition, but maybe we could use: "Murderers can be Christians". Perhaps "Paedophiles can be Christians" would get across our point better.
I almost can't stomach thinking about hitting 'publish' on this post: murders and paedophiles, what's gone wrong? But that's the way the gospel is. Good news for all - 'cos all have gone astray.

One of the leaders of the organization I was staying with when I was in Indonesia used to be a Serial Killer. He was such a cool guy! Jesus really changed his life around!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was at school, this was the one thing that put my best friend off Christianity the most. She was actually distraught that murderers and rapists could go to heaven if they repented. Because the world hates the idea of hell, but sees these people as the ones who truly deserve it. And everyone else, the 'good people' end up in heaven. The gospel turns this worldview upside down.
