With respect to the movement and action of Jesus followers in the world we find ourselves in, I present the following statement coined by my wonderful wife:

“We’re a disease, not a vaccine!”

Let me unpack this.

A disease spreads. It is contagious. Some (who are infected) have it, and transmit it to those of whom they come in contact with. If you are infected, you don’t have to work hard to spread it. The only way to keep from spreading is to quarantine yourself from others in hopes that they will not catch it.  A disease thrives on being spread.  By nature, a disease is designed to be spread.  Quickly, efficiently, thoroughly.

A vaccine inoculates. It kills infection, and prevents further spread.

We’re a disease, not a vaccine!

I am infected with Jesus & his message of grace, redemption, love, peace, hope, and resurrection.  I hope it spreads.
