“Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre. He tried to keep it secret that he was there, but he couldn’t…” (Mark 7:24 NLT).
I’ll try to put this as gently as I can: If Christ were present in your church service today, would He be noticed?
Would He fit into the crowd—or stick out like a sore thumb?
Would He be welcomed and ushered to a great seat—or be left to fend for himself, and only by the grace of God not choose Sister So-and-So’s pew?
Would He be acknowledged—or ignored?
Would He be invited back—or leave unnoticed?
You see, it’s not a given that God visits every service and every church every Sunday…but when He is there, it shouldn’t be anything that’s kept under wraps.
