Our Choice
-Max Lucado
"A Gentle Thunder"

On one side stands the crowd.
Jeering.
Baiting.
Demanding.
On the other stands a peasant.
Swollen lips.
Lumpy eye.
Lofty promise.
One promises acceptance,
the other a cross.
One offers flesh and flash,
the other offers faith.
The crowd challenges, "Follow us and fit in."
Jesus promises, "Follow me and stand out."
They promise to please.
God promises to save.
A basin of water?
Or the blood of the Savior?
God looks at you and asks…
Which will be your choice?
