Do you remember where you were 15 years ago on April 5th 1994?  I was a sophomore in high school living in Seattle when I heard the news that Kurt Cobain had committed suicide.  I remember the feelings I had and I remember seeing my classmates in shock that somebody who we all looked up to and related to so well had taken his own life.It’s a reminder to me that 15 years later and 26,465,420 views on You Tube the same music that shaped and was the icon of Gen X still is representative of today’s culture.  The pain and hurt we felt was represented in the songs that Nirvana sang.  Smells like teen spirit was the battle cry or theme song of a generation.  Today our teenagers still have that same pain and hurt and 15 years later they still relate with a band from Seattle called Nirvana and a lead singer named Kurt Cobain.As you look at the pictures of Kurt, the same pain and hurt and maybe guilt and despair that you see in his eyes, is the same look you see when you look into the eyes of teenagers today.  The same students who so desperately need a relationship with Jesus and many of whom don’t even know it yet.  May the battle cry or theme of this generation not be to idolize Kurt but to worship Jesus.I get sentimental when I remember how Kurt’s music shaped me and my friends and every year I remember where I was when I heard the news of his death and every year on May 9th I remember where I was when I heard and accepted the news of Jesus forgiveness for me.I remind myself that what I get to do as a pastor is a privilege and who I get to reach is a responsibility.
