As most new consoles typically do, the original Xbox console launched with an entirely new design for their controller that was quite unique. The “Duke”, as it was affectionately nicknamed, was much heavier and nearly THREE times the size of Sony’s PlayStation controller, making it incredibly bulky and difficult to use for both younger players and gamers with smaller hands. While this over-sized controller certainly had its’ fans (and still does), it wasn’t a good fit for every gamer, forcing Microsoft to pivot to the smaller and more universally accessible “Controller S” model. The best games in the world still wouldn’t bring new players to their platform until they made a controller that every player could hold.

In His time here on earth, Christ routinely broke down complicated spiritual concepts by using analogies and parables to make His messages accessible to all who were seeking out the truth. And as the ambassadors of Christ on this planet, we are called to submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit’s leading and share His truth with others in a manner that meets them where they are and fits their learning needs, even if those aren’t the same as our own personal preferences. The narrow way may be hard to walk, but it shouldn’t be difficult to find. Let’s be the light that makes finding Him easier for those seeking Him today.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
