What if I could go through life without claiming this label?
To recognize that there always is some disparity between the label and the substance of a person...
For example- we say "mother" to any woman who has given birth to a child. But how different those women could be...
The same for the label "Christian"- does it really have any meaning, given the almost limitless variety/quality of person that claims it?
What does "Christian" mean?
Even if we give it the most positive meaning- let's say a "Christian" is someone who is "right with God"... do I have to claim that label for myself?
I wish I could just return that label to people with a question, "Who do you say that i am?"
ie. look at the stuff of my life, and tell me what you see.
