“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.” – Winston Churchill
The same should also be said about one’s own belief system!

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him. – John 7:3-5 (KJV)
In defence of Jesus’ natural siblings, it must not have been easy having him as their eldest brother.
Can you imagine the feeling of being told all your life, “Why can’t you be more like your brother?!”
Sibbling rivalry occurs even in the best of homes.

These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? ….And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. – John 6:59-60, 65-66 (KJV)
Many church going Christians have expressed concern about being too open and too bold about their faith saying they don’t want to be responsible for driving people away from Christ.
While we should not be obnoxious, the fear of something we say or do driving people away from Christ is, perhaps, unfounded. Someone taking offence at something we say or do may not mean we did something wrong; perhaps it means we did something exactly right.
We could be left being more concerned than Jesus about who came to him and who didn’t. We shouldn’t hide our light under a bushel (Matthew 5:15) because someone may get angry and refuse to come to it.
Sometimes our stated concern about not wanting to push someone away from Christ is really a concern about them pushing away from us and the possible consequences to ourselves rather than to the cause of Christ.
