Don’t Bother Me

Don’t Bother Me
With souls to save.
I have my own agenda.
There’s school to do,
Sports to play,
Important stuff to attend to.
Don’t bother me
With my friend at work.
He’s got his own religion.
I don’t have time
to change his mind.
He’ll make his own decision

Don’t bother me
With that little girl,
That girl playing in the street.
She’s much too young
To understand
The Savior she could meet.
Don’t bother me
With sounds I hear.
The sounds of people shrieking.
Although I wonder who they are,
Who are these people screaming?
Don’t bother me
With who they are
I really don’t want the blame.
Cause it’s my friend
And the little girl
Who, from hell,
scream out my name.

C. S. Lewis was a former atheist who later became a Christian.at the age of 31.  This book, Mere Christianity is perhaps one of the best-selling book of all times. C.S. Lewis is also the author of the famous film “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

In Mere Christianity,  C. S. Lewis rejects the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations. While religious belief is not a concern for some, to many more it is an extremely serious decision, requiring deep thought and the entire energy of the mind.


cs lewis quotes

“Ever since I became a Christian I have thought that the best, perhaps the only, service I could do for my unbelieving neighbors was to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.”

“Christianity is not a religion of flitting angels and blind faith, but of free will, an innate sense of justice and the grace of God.” – C.S. Lewis

God’s Rescue Plan

we need a savior

“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[a] because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).

What is Christ’s greatest accomplishment? It was not His miracles or His insightful teaching or His example of love. The greatest achievement of the God of Christmas is salvation. Sin is a powerful force in our lives and holds us in captivity. The Bible describes our spiritual struggles and failures in various ways. For example, we are trapped as it were in a sea of mud. The more we struggle to get out, the deeper we sink. We are in a dark pit whose walls are so high that we can’t possibly climb out. We are so terribly ill there is no cure. We are in a prison with no hope of being released. We are lost and don’t know where to go. This is where the mission of Christmas brilliantly shines.
Jesus is a great example, but His example is too high for any of us to keep, left to ourselves. He is a great teacher, but truth by itself can’t save us. If you are drowning, you don’t need someone to shout instructions from the shore. You don’t need a lecture on swimming. You need someone to come into the water and save you. God’s Son, Jesus, comes to us in our captivity, in our terrible and hopeless dilemma, and rescues us. His death on the cross demonstrates His great love for us in saving us from our sins and paying the price for our deliverance and forgiveness. Jesus is God’s deliverer—this is God’s rescue strategy—He sends Jesus to Earth to save us and to bring us to Heaven. This is the God of all grace, reaching down, down, down to you in the mission of Christmas.
