It's Just Lunch

Every so often, a talk-show host like Larry King will ask a guest, "Who is the one person in history that you would really like to talk with over lunch?" Some of the guests, usually ones that wear their Christianity on their sleeve, reply that they would like to meet with Jesus.

I would argue that such a response indicates that the person is a Christian in name only and not in the way they live their life. Those who claim to be fundamentalist Christians will say that Jesus should be the focus of their lives. Those who don't must repent and develop a personal relationship with our Savior or risk eternal damnation. Well, if these people have a personal relationship with Jesus, why would they need to meet with Him over lunch?
