So I have some pretty bizarre dreams, but this one ranks as pretty weird. I was doing street ministry in NYC. I met a homeless guy and was taking him to a van. Suddenly the homeless guy puts a gun to my back and threatens me. Somehow I get the gun and shoot him back. He starts dying. I kneel beside him and say, "It can't end like this. I was supposed to give you Jesus. I was supposed to tell you that Jesus changed me for the better." I'm not sure if he accepted it, but it got me thinking.
There are 2 explanations for this dream:
1) I watched Bourne Identity, went to church, heard Lister's mugging story and went to a Bible study. Perhaps this dream is just an amalgamation of all those things.
2) If you can learn anything from me it is that Jesus has changed my life. If you haven't gotten this impression from me yet then you are seriously getting ripped off. If you have gotten the impression that Jesus has only changed my ethics and values and put me into some urban-Amish commune, than I have sincerely ripped you off. I went from absolute worst, negative, deathly ill, pointlessness to fullness, life, purpose and destiny. As C.S. Lewis says, this [Christian life] is not teaching a horse to jump higher or run faster. This is teaching the horse to fly.
