CHANGE YOUR . . . – – – OR ELSE

When Alexander the Great was in the thick of his conquering campaigns, a soldier was brought before him, for deserting. When Alexander saw that he was very young, his heart softened for a moment, and he simply asked, “Young man, what is your name?”

When the ‘boy’ answered, “Alexander, sir,” the general’s demeanor changed again, to rage.

Alexander rose to his feet, grabbed the soldier by the collar and lifted him off the floor.

He yelled in anger, “Young man, change your name—or change your ways!”

For us who name the name of Jesus, and call ourselves Christians—are we living our daily lives worthy of that name?
