Mistaken Identity

One day a few years ago there was a knock at my door. When I opened it, a police officer with a gun and mace, and a big night stick was standing their asking to talk to me... He was looking for Brandon, possibly to arrest him for assault. Emily looked at me quite confused... why was her pastor husband being investigated for assaulting another man. As it turned out, I was not the Brandon that he was looking for. Another member of my soccer team had punched someone from another team during a game and knocked out one of his teeth. The officer was looking for the other brandon, but mistakenly came to my house instead... Mistaken identity is a big problem and can really get you in trouble... In the same way, many people who are looking for God, mistakenly thing that all people who are called Christian’s are acting on his behalf. The bear his name “CHRISTian”... so they must be acting in the way that he wants them too... like the pop-star who thanks Jesus for giving his album, full of songs about sex, murder, drugs and gangs, a grammy, many Christians need to think about whether it really is God who they are serving with their lives... The way they live is really given people of case of mistaken identity about God....
