I was recently about to lead worship for an event. However, just before I left home, I had a moment of shock and awe. It was one of those things that happen—although, you don’t expect it to happen—but when it does happen, you don’t know what to say or do.

Usually, before I leave home for an event, I have my wife and kids pray for me. My seven year old son placed his hands on my head and uttered these words, which still ring in my head, “God, bless daddy, and help him sing good, and let them see Jesus.” That was it. I immediately opened my eyes as they started to fill up with tears, amazed at the profoundness of this prayer. “Let them see Jesus!” I can’t get rid of this thought.

You see, it really starts to hit me when I look around and see that we live in a culture where things are very personality driven. Media and television have invaded our platforms and pulpits. No longer can a person, who is full of the Spirit of God, get up and speak the truth, without having just the right balance of humor, hair gel, and just the right shoes.

I don’t want you to think that I’m against fashion or being culturally relevant, but I dare to say that no one walked away from Jesus thinking about how dynamic of a speaker He was or what a bold choice of tunics He wore.

This was a prophetic prayer that I think we need to be reminded of—

people have to see Jesus. That is all.
