gifted it to me had observed that I had nothing on my motor to identify me as a follower of Jesus Christ. The tmth is that for years I always had a “Christian” fish on my car. The fish is a Christian symbol that has been used since the Church was very young and at first I thought it was great to be able to declare my belief in a manner that goes way back, but then a handful of years ago I decided that my driving so of­ ten failed to glorify God and maybe it was not a good advertisement for my Faith! After selling one particular car with a


fish, I decided not to replace the emblem on my next one. After that I had years of anonymity, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t use my lack of vehicle identification to become a “joyrider”, I just disappeared as an identifiable Christian road user. Maybe I felt that the pressure was off


and I could relax, like it was really all about what other people think. I have since questioned my notion that my driv­ ing is somehow linked to my faith. Okay, I concede that those travelling with me will need to exercise some, but my occasional lack of finesse at the wheel does not make my worthiness to follow Jesus question­ able. The greatest untruth ever sold is that we


when we place our hope in Christ we are “purified”... “just as He (Christ) is pure” (1 John 3:3). Of course the grace I find in Jesus


doesn’t mean that I can drive anyway I want, but it does mean that His “grace re­ ally is sufficient” (2 Corinthians 12:9) even when I get in the wrong lane... and I can still have my sticker in place!
