What would Jesus say to an Entertainer?

The lives of entertainers have always been the stuff of magazine articles, haven’t they? Multiple affairs and marriages, alcohol use and abuse, drug parties, emotional roller coasters, and of course children who tend to perpetuate the cycle of dysfunction.  Not all entertainers live this way – some are quite normal – but so many have lives that can only be graciously described as “train wrecks.”

 

What would Jesus say to an entertainer today, if He were to watch a few episodes of Entertainment Tonight, or read a cheap magazine in the line at the grocery story?  If Jesus were able to sit down and talk with one of the many wealthy, popular media stars that we pay to see and hear on a daily basis, what words of wisdom might He give?  And, would Jesus challenge them in any way?

 

I think Jesus would embrace them, commend them for their talents, and then help them understand that There is nothing this world can offer that is more important and fulfilling than a life built on Jesus.

 

He would also tell them to:

• Live your life “in Christ”
• Base your life upon the teachings in God’s Word

 

Our scripture comes from Matthew 6:19-21
