What car would Jesus drive?

I was delighted the other day when I heard that the Pope was encouraging trainee priests and nuns to be modest in there life styles.

He told them to cycle where possible, to share cars and use modest cars.  He practices what he preaches,  gone is the Mercedes Benz and the specially adapted cars in favour of a production line Ford Focus.

He eschews all the trappings of wealth and power, encourages all of us to focus on spiritual matters rather than the trappings of the consumer society.  We need to allow ourselves to be seduced by God rather than the consumer society.

Christians reflection in the world must be that of Christ, if we are to convert the world.  We must reflect Christ not the world, we must have integrity.  The sinner and the child will detect our fraud if are not humble in every aspect of our lives.  We must change if we want to win this world for Christ.

Christ Jesus ...Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death—

even death on a cross!

Philippians 2
