Yes, Jesus said the truth would be rejected. Yes, He warned that His own would be persecuted, insulted, slandered because of righteousness. But… He never said that every rejection would be a sign of faithfulness.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…”, not because of vanity, arrogance or imposition disguised as zeal.

Lately I have been asking myself: have I become a bore? In my eagerness to share what is precious to me, am I imposing what should simply be lived?

Ever since I was a child, I have always liked sharing good things with others. If I found something cool, I showed it to my friends. It was natural. And maybe it still is. But when I came to know the Bible, this desire took on a weight. As if now I had not only something good, but something eternal. And with that… came the temptation to turn sharing into insistence.

I spent years sharing verses, ideas, interpretations, often with good intentions, yes, but also with a certain haste, a certain pride, a certain need to be recognized for having “seen something.” And when people drew away, I comforted myself: “It's the truth that bothers them. Jesus was rejected too.”

But now I ask myself with more honesty:

“What is being rejected: the truth of the Spirit or my vanity dressed up as biblical wisdom?”

Jesus was rejected. But He was also followed. He was sought out by the simple, by the broken. And not because He quoted Scripture in every sentence, but because He embodied the Word.

The truth does not need to be pushed. It attracts when it comes wrapped in humility. When it does not seek to impress. When it is in no hurry to convince.

The truth is alive. But if it comes with arrogance, it loses its shine. If it comes with imposition, it closes doors.

I still believe it is worth sharing. But today I believe that sharing the Good News is living the Good News. Not just quoting it. It is letting the other person perceive, in silence, what is being formed in me.

Jesus did not say: “Blessed are the bores.” He said: “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

And making peace is not winning debates. It is carrying within yourself the peace of God, and sharing it.

If my presence communicates the Kingdom before my words do, maybe I am still on the way. Maybe I have not become a bore.

Or maybe I have… but there is still time to go back to being just a disciple, a witness, a brother.
