“Jesus is a myth, just like the Easter Bunny. Please stop posting your crap on Craigslist, you’re not getting my money.”
I’m no theologian but even I could conclude the person responsible for that quote was no God loving, sold out follower of Jesus. In fact, they were responding to an ‘ad’ I placed on Craigslist. (Read how the Drama on Craigslist started in Part I or Part II of this series)
What could be said to someone who is obviously antagonistic toward Christ? Here’s a couple of ideas to get your evangelistic juices flowing.
- Have you ever felt like our mystery writer when it comes to Jesus? If you’d made a similar statement in the past, what type of response might you have appreciated?
- Perhaps you have strong feelings about something today. How do you want people to treat you when you share those beliefs?
- Maybe you’ve encountered someone with an intense conviction. Did you learn something from your conversations that might help here?
WoW! Now I’m looking forward to what happens next!
