On social media, influencers are people with millions of followers who sell time to corporate sponsors, making millions of dollars. I can hardly wrap my mind around it. At the top end, influencers are making over $500,000 per post. You read that right. Per post. They make that money because their audience is so large and they are so influential with their audience.
Who influences you? Who are the people you admire or the people you want to be like? Who are the people you follow?
Long before social media, influencers existed while using other ways to reach their followers. Jesus is our original influencer, with a huge audience and so influential in the way his followers lived their lives. And then Jesus sent us to be influencers, leaving the future of the faith in our hands.
We are Christ’s Ambassadors. Jesus called his followers to be seen. You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the earth. You have influence.
Peace,
