Does The Apostolic Message Need Re-Packaging????

[TalkLady]

If Jesus and the apostles were alive today, do you believe they would insist on maintaining the customs of 2000 years ago - with robes and sandals?

Jesus IS the package - show Him in your life and He's lifted up.

He said if I be lifted up, I'll draw all men to Me.

I'm saying....Lift Him up and not self and love one another, then you have a big part of the "package"...If you're talking about how the gospel is "delivered"...

I know that manufacturers of products upgrade their product packaging to reflect the current tastes and customs. For instance, Betty Crocker was changed from the 40's and 50's look into a more modern looking women.

As new ways to package items are invented, successful companies will try to upgrade their packaging. Colas and Ketchup used to always be packaged in glass bottles, but now they mostly use plastic packaging.

Is it time to re-package the Apostolic message?

No. But I doubt they'd be wearing Hickey Freeman suits and custom made shoes. I doubt they have to have a Rolex and and diamond studded tie pin.
