Last year I went to a folk concert. The atmosphere was very quiet and respectable, the audience politely applauded the female singer-songwriter as she gently played her guitar and sang sweetly. However one guy in the audience kept calling out for the same song, which the singer obviously didn’t want to play. This guy kept going on and on, he was so irritating that eventually the singer got so fed up that she punctured the nice polite atmosphere by yelling at the top of her voice: “SHUT IT!”
I reckon, deep down, that’s how most people feel about Christians. “Why can’t you just shut up?” Why do have to keep going on and on about Jesus?” You believe what you like, why do you have to involve every one else?” “All your talk about sin, hell and needing to repent is so irritating, are you determined to make us all miserable?” In short, however polite people may appear, the underlying message is “SHUT IT!”
Well, here’s the reason Christians can’t shut up, the reason we at Townhill Baptist will always keep going on and on that you need to repent and believe, the reason that Jesus is and will always be the most relevant person to your life:
“Salvation is found in no-one else, for there’s no other name give to men by which we must be saved”. (Acts 4:12)
The shocking truth is that if tell Jesus to shut up, you block out the only person who’s able to do you any good. Are going to turn and trust Him?
