Because I am a worm in light of the Master. A Holy God can't even look upon me, were it not for His willingness to cast His eyes upon the Son in my stead. Even the thought of trying to "represent" the Christ makes me feel undone.

No offense, but although humility is a good thing, it is not so good when taken to extremes. We ARE called to "represent" the Christ. Paul calls us His ambassadors on this earth. We may be only worms in comparison with His Glory, but we are His tools on this earth. Whether it means to show the world through our lives, or through verbally telling others, or by playing Jesus so people can get the picture in their heads, I believe the Lord approves of it. Preaching the gospel is a REQUIREMENT for all Christians, and he expects us to do it with whatever RESOURCES and TALENTS he gives to us. Even if it means letting our baby boy represent Him in a play. Or having the temerity to play Him in a movie. That's why we even have talents at all - for HIS glory.
