High Fidelity: The Final Installment of this 3-Part series
Although Jesus never had a publicist, a booking agent, or a marketing manager-part of the entourage of many Christian musicians - He had fame.
Crowds followed Him. They cheered and waved palm branches. They expected miracles.
Christian singer Michael Card believes these New Testament illustrations can be instructive for how musicians should handle fame. In an article for CCM magazine, he argued that Jesus disregarded His "stardom."
Micheal Card
Instead of celebrity, Card said Jesus' posture was that of a servant who washed His disciples' feet and cooked them breakfast . He didn't build a worldly kingdom or live garishly. The follower of Jesus must always choose truthfulness over fame,
Card wrote.
Given the choice, we must wash feet, not do encores.
The true purpose of Christian music, which many have still not forgotten, is to spread the fame of Jesus Christ, to proclaim Him by celebrating Him.
