Lego My Jesus

Last week a church in Stockholm Sweden unveiled a statue of Jesus that took a year and a half to construct. The statue stands around 5.8ft tall and is made up of nearly 30,000 Lego's! I can't even imagine the planning, time and patience it must have taken to put together something so involved.

After reading this story two things came to mind. First let me say that I don't know anything about this church. I can only assume that they love Jesus, the Bible and are serving their community and Gods leads them to.

With that said, the first thing that came to mind was the idea of building a statue. What kind of statues am I constructing day in and day out? Were all busy but are we so busy that we make statues or gods out of things in our lives. This happens every time we put something else before Jesus and that something then becomes our god. Our time devotion and energy gets poured into that thing and it's eventually what we live for and not Jesus.

This brings me to my second thought. How much time am I investing in Jesus? Am I putting so much of Jesus into my life that people can actually see him take shape in my life? Additionally, what am I doing to help others to develop a lasting, deep meaningful relationship with Jesus?

So think about it. What or who are you devoted to? What or who are you investing in? And finally what are you doing to help others to come into a relationship with Jesus?
