This summer (2010) we distributed around 600 pairs of jeans to families.
We met a number of people who were wondering why we would give jeans away. Here is something that explains why we held Jeans for Jesus.
1. Jesus teaches sharing.
Generosity may be in short supply these days, but Jesus is always giving. He teaches us to give and we are glad to share with you.
2. Jesus actually cares about your life.
There’s no reason that you should follow Jesus if He doesn’t care about your life. We know that He does. Whatever is going on with you, He actually cares about it. These jeans are a small reminder that He cares about every detail in your life.
3. You can find real answers in Jesus.
Many people treat Jesus like an accessory– like a belt or a purse. If he matches what they want to wear, then they drag him out of the closet. But if they want to go to a club, or out with friends, they leave him behind.
This actually doesn’t work.
Since Jesus has conquered death, He never gets left behind. He sees everything, and He so much wants to help you but you will have to trust in Him.
Life can be pretty difficult because following Jesus will require you to make tough choices and to choose his way rather than your way.
4. Jesus is Calling You to More
The good news is that your life can make sense. You don’t have to keep going around in circles. You can put on Christ and begin with a fresh start. This Fall if you are willing to listen, Jesus can make things new.
Come and worship and grow with us at the A&M Church of Christ. We are seeking to honor him in all that we do.
