What is a flash mob? You can look at Wikipedia for a fuller description, but generally it is an organized event that appears spontaneous and is designed to promote a product, issue or just bring joy to the people who witness the event. It is said that the first flash mob occurred in 2003, but I began thinking and realized it was much earlier, say around 30 A.D.
On the day of Pentecost the Spirit of God was poured out and a group of believers began to speak in the languages of those around them. You can imagine their amazement! They spoke of Jesus, who he was, what his death meant to those who believe and explained what they were seeing; a fulfillment of God’s promise. People’s lives were changed that day and its effect has continued.
Imagine if all who are Christians really began to live in the Spirit of God and show the fruit of the Spirit of God. Imagine if our pursuits were love instead of lust, joy instead of anxiety, peace instead of chaos, patience instead of quick-tempered, kindness instead of spite, goodness instead of immorality, faithfulness instead of fickle, gentleness instead of callousness, self-control instead of self-indulgence. The glory to God would be seen and the results would be more impactful than a few hits on You Tube.
Christians, lets flash mob!
