"Beer with Jesus"

Stephen directed my attention to this song last night. A Good Ole Boy he knew had told him about it, expressing how it somehow captured his own heart and feelings toward Christ.

At first, I wasn't really interested in it. I heard the title and the twang and figured it wasn't something that I would really "get" or appreciate--the title did seem a little rebellious in nature, right?

Wrong.

Today, thinking about The Lord, what kind of devotion I would do here, I pulled up the song on YouTube to listen to it...

INCREDIBLE.

I loved the song, and what's more, I loved the idea.

What IF I--or anyone--got the opportunity to sit down with my Savior and talk to Him? What would I do? What would I say, if anything? What if I had the time it takes to play two or three songs on the juke box? And what if I had the evening?

This song makes you think about that. And it makes you think about the fact that Jesus did just this in the scriptures which record his life of ministry. He DID sit down with weary travelers, seekers, believers, and ate and drank with them--and he was criticized for it.

Without getting into a discussion that would bring my own convictions under fire, I will conclude by saying this:

We mustn't forget the HEART of CHRIST: to connect with every living, breathing individual on this planet. To seek and save those who are lost, those who need Him, those who are imperfect.

Thank God.
