Later, the officer returned and said, “I’m sorry, Ma’am. This has all been a big mistake. When I pulled up behind you, I noticed your ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ license plate holder and your ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker. I assumed the car was stolen!”
The point of the above story is that Satan doesn’t care so much if you’re a Christian as long as you don’t act like one. If he can get you to live by his lifestyle, he can damage and disarm you every time and dishonor the name of Christ in the process (cf. 2 Timothy 4:10,14).
Instead, Jesus calls His followers to be the “salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13) and to let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our heavenly Father (Matthew 5:16).
Dear reader, if we’ll put Jesus in the driver’s seat of our lives, we can better demonstrate God’s love and concern toward all people (Gal. 6:10; Titus 3:8), avoiding any frustration.
