Awesomeness

"There is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness." – Po the Panda!

 

I really enjoyed the movie – "Kung Fu Panda" – all 4 times I’ve watched it in the last two months. It ranks right up there with Aladdan! That’s no mean feat… Anyway, I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie but its all about a Panda who becomes the Kung Fu master and has to save the town from the evil Tai Lung. Anyway, its super funny – at least to me! But right at the beginning he is dreaming about being a Kung Fu master and as everyone is gawking at him and saying how great he is, he makes this quote – there is no charge for awesomeness and attractiveness!

 

So what does this have to do with anything? Well, I realized as I was praying for a friend this week – that even though Jesus is SO awesome and attractive – he doesn’t charge for it. He is easy to be with, fun, passionate and beautiful and he does everything he can (without stepping over the "choice" boundary) to be with us. No charge. He’s not out to make a buck. Not out for his own gain. Not out for any selfish reason. He’s the epitomy of humility and selflessness. And he’s awesome! No charge!
