The Real Jesus
I pray today that you will share the real, sweet Jesus with the people in your life.
I’m born in Kingston, Jamaica and we love mango season.
So every once in a while we’ll have a guest that comes to Jamaica and we’ll offer them a mango. Invariably someone will say, “Oh, I don’t like mangos,” and we’ll say, “What? You don’t like mangos?”
Conversation will stop. Obviously, you’ve never had a real mango. We’ll get a really beautifully ripe Bombay mango and put it before them and say: “Here! This is a real mango. The mango you’ve had was ripened falsely, shipped a thousand miles. That’s not a real mango. This is a real mango.”
You know, people will say to us, “I don’t like God. He’s not for me.” Do they know the real Jesus? I pray today that you will share the real, sweet Jesus with the people in your life.

"Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. But—When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:3-5
