Conformed or Unconformed

Have you drove slowly pass an accident to get the picture of what the back up was all about?
Have you ever walked slow down an isle to find out what an upset customer was complaining to the associate or manager about? You were eager to find out what was happening, maybe even wanted to give your opinion or maybe you DID give your opinion. You may have been wanting to fit into a group, so you conformed to their way of talking, dressing, and joined in with their activities; maybe in school or work you've done this.

In Jesus' time, they had these kind of people. It is mentioned in Romans 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

When Jesus was being mocked by the crowd, there were drifters and strangers from other cities among this crowd. They may have been more concerned about fitting in and not standing out. The strangers may have been in the cities for a while and heard of the miracles and wonders of Jesus Christ. They may have believed in him, but because the majority of the crowd mocked Jesus, they thought it was better to join in with the chanting "crucify him!"  After all, no one wants to stand out and stand up for Jesus when he was being crucified. Peter was his best friend, ready to stand in his place of death until the time approached and he denied Jesus, not just once but three times as predicted.

I am not asking if you are drifter or follower, but are you asking God who you are?
 Is social status more important to you and fitting in with your crowd more important?
When it comes to your last day and you stand before God and he ask you "why should I let you into heaven?" What will be your answer? 
"What did the crowd say?"   "Whatever they said, I agree."
The crowd isn't going to be there with you. You have to answer the question alone. Noone can make you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. No one can make you do anything unless you lay down and let them walk all over you; like a floor mat.  

I hope one day, today, you will say "Lord, I need you in my life. I need to believe in you, please help my unbelief."
