After Jesus was resurrected, he joined two of his disciples as they walked away from Jerusalem. They did not recognize him and he seemed completely unaware of what had taken place that last week in Jerusalem. The irony is that Jesus as the Stranger didn’t seem to know what was going on – but he was actually the only one who really knew.
We thrill to stories about a person being rescued who is unknown to the rescuer, but what kind of love does it take to purchase a slave who has been unfaithful?
Why hop on board the bus of Christ-less religion, which is either driving around in circles or heading in the wrong direction? Why not follow Jesus, who knows exactly where he is going?
How and where did we ever get the idea that human institutions and enterprises could take something as perfect as the gospel of Jesus Christ and improve it, making it “safer” for human consumption?
Just as healthy and nourishing food is often sold in the same environment as junk food, a similar dynamic is present with spiritual food – even though the religious label and packaging might look healthy, you might want to closely examine the ingredients and the contents.
The world will be changed by those who dare to dream, so as George Bernard Shaw once said, “People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.”
