Cheesus!
This week, a Missouri woman found Jesus in a bag of cheetos. “Cheesus” is what this woman claims to be the perfect likeness of Jesus hanging on the cross made out of a cheetos cheese puff. Read the whole story.
When I first heard this story this morning on the radio I thought, “Some people will do anything to get their 15 minutes of fame!” But the more I thought about what this woman was claiming the more it broke my heart. You see, I came to realize that there are some people in this world who are so desperate to find God in any corner of their life that they are even willing to pretend they see Him in a cheetos bag.
There are people out there that are so desperate to feel the love and acceptance of Christ, but they go looking in all of the wrong places for it. This just makes me want to do whatever it takes to make our churches in America the FIRST place people go when they are seeking to truly meet God. As funny as it sounds I don’t think that most of the public would go directly to the church if they were seeking to find an authentic God, and that’s why they go in so many other directions.
What can we do as members of the Body of Christ to change this?!?!
