LOST

I'm a huge LOST fan.  I'm not even going to pretend like I'm not geeking out about the series finale (Sunday, May 23rd, 9:00pm - 11:30pm) or the simple fact that ABC is devoting almost the entire weekend program to one show.  Seriously... here's ABC's LOST schedule for this weekend:

Saturday May 22nd
8PM - 10PM - LOST Pilot (The two hour First Episode that started it all!)
Sunday May 23rd
7PM - 9PM - LOST Recap of the entire series
9PM - 11:30PM - LOST the LAST EPISODE!
11:30PM - 12:30PM - Jimmy Kimmel Live, a tribute to LOST. (And quite possibly the last time that the producers ever discuss LOST! If we don't get answers by 12:30... we may never get the answers we want!)

Crazy, right? Yes. I am a fan. And clearly... I want you to be a fan too.  But why?  Cause LOST is an awesome, life changing show about some weird, mystical, magnetic island?  Cause LOST is a GREAT show with GREAT characters and GREAT writing insights?  Maybe.  But I think more than that, I want you to be a fan so I can talk to you about it.  So we can experience it together.  So that there's something that we share together.

In fact... that's how it is with all good things in life, isn't it?  That when we run into something awesome, or we hear/see/taste/feel something amazing... we want to share it with the people we care about.  If you eat something amazing, you offer a bite to someone else so they could share your excitement and enthusiasm for it.  Or when you watch a movie, you bring people with you to share that experience.

But what about Jesus?

Isn't Jesus magnificent? Perhaps even more so than a TV show? Than any person you know? Than even life itself?  Don't we sing worship songs at church that talk about how much Jesus means to us?

So how come we don't talk about it him? Why are we ashamed to admit it? Why are we so inclined to hide what we do every Sunday morning?  Why shy away from what we're doing on Wednesday nights?

Maybe Jesus doesn't mean as much to us as we say he does.

But can I tell you an incredible secret?

Jesus loves you more than you can imagine.  Even if you never say a word about him... he loves you.  Even if you HATE him... he loves you.

Romans 8:38 - 39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Not even your lack of love for Jesus can separate you from his love.

And THAT... is worth talking about.
