Christ and The Price is Right

I was on a cruise last week (which is a whole different story that I will hopefully get around to telling later) and I saw a girl wearing a T-shirt for some Chistian camp or youth group or something. The shirt was playing off of The Price is Right game show but instead said “Christ is Right”. At first I just thought, well that’s pretty cheesy, but I guess it’s cute. And true. But then I saw the shirt a few more times, and it started to bother me. I thought to myself, is that what Jesus himself would want to broadcast to the world if he made his own T-shirt, that He is “right”? Granted, I do think he was right, and I think he wants people to realize that, but His message was not about right and wrong, and neither was His life. His whole reason for living and dying was because He paid the price for our sins, the sins of the whole world, mine, yours, everyone’s. So I think if Jesus wanted to make a cute shirt about Himself based on The Price is Right, it would have said “The Price is Christ”. He didn’t come to prove anything to anyone but to be everything for everyone. Isn’t that what our world needs to hear? Not that Christ is right but that He is the answer to all of our questions, the redemption for all of our shame, and the salvation for our very souls? If you and I have come to know that Christ is all of these things, should we not present Him as such to the people around us who don’t know? I hope that given the opportunity to share Christ with someone, I do not find myself trying to convince them that He is right. It would miss the whole point.
