If You Can't Be Jesus, Then Be Joseph
I recently stumbled across something I wrote back 10 years ago. I’m reposting it today (also a note at the end that I wrote today)
 
If you can't be Jesus, then be Joseph
Recently, I was talking to a woman in great distress. She thought she was a bad Christian and was not worthy of being baptized. When I asked her why, she stated that she hadn’t become a perfect Christian yet. This statement made me ponder. Have we done such a poor job in explaining Christianity that some people think they can’t find salvation?
  
What people need to realize is that:
 
1)      Christianity isn’t a religion that requires specific actions such as penance, saying specific prayers or whatever in order to correct wrong-doings that had been done, Christianity is a relationship with Christ and with God
 
2)      Christians aren’t perfect – just forgiven. You see, Christ taught us that we are capable of miraculous actions but that we also miss the mark and stray from perfection. What God has already said is that whenever we stray that we are forgiven.
 
3)      Sometimes we don’t need to be Jesus – sometimes Joseph is just fine.
 
You see, some years back there was a huge movement. It was “WWJD” ... more
