Luke 18:8 “However, when the
Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
I believe the church exists
to tell the next generation that Jesus alive.
Then I read the Gallup world-wide survey of teens which reveals that
while 47% of all teens believe Jesus was crucified, only 33% believe Jesus rose
again. Among Christian teens, only 50% say that Jesus is resurrected.
Read that again.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Now
is the time to get our Message to the next generation. Why do we have difficulty
engaging teens in conversations which explore the basic, faith-defining, Christian
truths? How do we share the faith today?
Learn to live like Jesus is alive. If Jesus
isn’t alive, then Christianity is dead.
Check out Christian Tik Tok
influencers, young Christians expressing their faith in ways that I never could
imagine. Teens learn faith in something every day.
If Christianity has a future,
then the Church needs to learn how to communicate truths to teens in methods
that reach their eyes and ears.
Parents, grandparents,
churches, are we truly committed to doing what we can to make sure Jesus finds
faith on the earth when he comes looking?
