Who hasn’t heard of General Larry Platt? The guy is going to get famous (or at least have his moment of fame) for acting crazy on American television. He was the talk around the water cooler on Thursday. A video of him was performing has been viewed over a million times on You Tube in 5 days. They even have a ringtone of General Platt singing his song. If I were a betting man, I would bet that General Platt will be seen again at the American Idol finale. I mentioned him in my message on Sunday and I had several people after the service comment on his performance. It seems that everyone is talking about it. No one seems hesitant to share their opinion of General Platt.
Then, I was studying this morning and it led me to Matthew 27 where it tells the story of Jesus on the cross and what he did for me. I sit in awe that Jesus loves me and you that much. Then, I wonder. Why are we so hesitant to talk about Jesus around the water cooler? What makes a man singing a funny song (and I like General Platt, don’t get me wrong) more infectious than a man dying so we can live for eternity? Can you imagine what would happen if the Christians of the world would get as excited about Jesus Christ as we are about General Platt? FYI – a scene from Passion of the Christ has been on You Tube for two years and it has only been viewed half as much as General Larry Platt has been viewed in 5 days.
To all of us who believe, lets get excited and tell someone what we know.
