What Do People Notice Most?

"He must increase, but I must decrease."
John 3:30

Have you ever seen the famous painting of the Mona Lisa? If you have not had the privilege of viewing the original painting, perhaps you have seen a photograph or print. Can you recall what the frame looked like? Probably not. If that frame had flashing Christmas lights on it you might remember. Why? Because it would draw attention to itself. You see the job of a good frame is not to draw attention to itself, but rather to complement or highlight the picture. In much the same way, you and I ought to be like that frame. If people are seeing too much of us and not enough of Jesus (through us), then we are failing our purpose.

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
~Jim Elliot
"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."
~George Burns
