You’re nothing but a little Jesus

The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

The irony is that the term was intended to be an insult, a slur if you will. The title “Christian” meant little Jesus. The disciples were being mocked for being just like Jesus. Little did the detractors know that being like Jesus couldn’t have been a greater compliment.

Nicole has been at driver’s training for the last three weeks. Tonight, the class was playing a Jeopardy style game where everyone was divided up into teams. She is a good student so whenever it was her team’s turn to answer, her teammates would holler, “Let the Christian answer!” From the sounds of it, they weren’t necessarily being mean, but they did label her based on their understanding of who she is.

What an honor to be called, by people who have only casually known you, a little Jesus.
