The Evidence of Christ in You

Paul Gustave Dore was a well known French artist and sculptor. He was traveling through Europe and had lost his passport.

At one border crossing the authorities stopped him from entering. He stated who he was and the officers explained how many people have come through, saying they were someone, they were not. At the persistence of Mr. Dore, one of the officers handed him a piece of paper and a writing utensil and asked him to draw a group of people standing nearby. Paul Gustave Dore went to work and skillfully and quickly was able to draw a magnificent sketch. They allowed him through. Sometimes in our lives words is really not enough. A rebellious child who says he won't do it again, a husband who promises he won't cheat again, a friend who tells you he won't talk about you again behind your back. People do not need words, they need action, evidence of the truth. Spiritually, we need to show we are truly Christian and the evidences that the blood of Jesus is on our lives and his Holy Spirit is in us. Show the world that you are not just a loud Christian, show them you are a devout Christian with evidence of God in you. How can you better show Christ in your life to others? How can you better practice what you preach?
