Luke 3
John is calling the people to repentance. (John is the original New Testament fire and brimstone preacher. If you will watch carefully, Jesus seldom preaches that way.) In response to John's call to repentance a man asks, "What should we do then?" John's reply is "The man who has two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." Notice that his call to repentance is not just about changing the way the person thinks, it changes the way the person acts. He shares similar action responses to the tax collectors and soldiers who ask what they should do. I believe he would share a similar call with us.

This makes me wonder if - and how much - I am different than if I were not a Christian. It's a rather disconcerting thought!!
