We've all had the experience of ticking 'Yes I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions' as we install new software, take out some insurance or sign up for a new social media platform. Sometimes we are even forced to scroll through the small print before we can click 'Yes' - but do we ever actually read the text?
I did once, when agreeing to a cash-back offer that came with a new phone - I wanted to know exactly when I needed to send the company copies of my bill. It was a hassle, but worth it for the savings.
Do we sometimes treat obedience to Jesus as part of the small print of Christianity? 'Here is salvation and forgiveness' we proclaim loudly and boldly, hoping that people will join our churches and soon learn to stomach the small print of 'Oh, by the way, we need to repent and obey Christ'.
