No one makes fun of a lame person who uses a crutch. The fact is, everybody leans on something. As a Christian I lean on Jesus, because He's a crutch that can hold me. As it turns out, though, a lot of people are leaning on rubber crutches. The real question is not whether you have a crutch or not.
Every body does.
All of those are rubber crutches. If whatever you're depending on for security and significance can be here today and gone tomorrow, then you're in trouble. You're leaning on a rubber crutch. And that's not funny. Yes, Christians lean on Christ.
