I think he'd just give us one of those ....dude... looks.

I think Christ would tell 21st century America to stop worrying so much about ourselves as individuals and start loving each other. Our generation knows pain. Kids grow up without parents or with parents that hate each other. School isn't a place to learn but a place to survive. We look on each other as inferior. Christ loved us so much that He died for us. How many of us would die for another person let alone the people of the world? We can not truly love the Lord until we can whole-heartedly love each other. There is nothing like our God and there is nothing like His love. His unquestionable and unconditional love is the cure for our Society.

I think that love is the most important aspect of being a Christian. In America, where's the love? I'm not saying that America is a terrible place, but we live in a society that is so focused on individuality that we forget why we were placed on this earth. A society whose dream is to further advance positions in the social ladder. Make lots of money. Get a big house and have kids who grow up to be baseball stars.

I don't mean that we shouldn't want good things for our future. We want to be blessed with a means to survive, and we want our future kids to be successful. But at what cost? Do we want to be so rich that we put money on a pedestal and make that our purpose in life? No. We all want to be successful in life but success isn't equated to money.

When we die, God won't care if we made a million dollars or a quarter. Instead He'll look at our impact in other people's lives. He'll wonder if we loved those around us. He'll wonder if we loved our enemies. Did we reach out to the people around us or did we live our secluded individualistic lives? Jesus would tell to love because He is love and everything He did was for love. "All for love a savior prayed."
