Wha-chu look'en at?
Hardcore Porkage is where it's at.
Don't have much to say today. I just got back from disc golfing ... threw 2 under. Whoooo for me.
Been thinking lately about
Jesus and how he dealt with people. I've been working on my third book
... which will be on Jesus' teachings in the gospel of Matthew. I'm
noticing that what we've called "universal" truth, might actually be
more specific in nature. For instance, when Jesus talked with the
arrogant church leaders he used one tone and approach. When he talked
with sinners, he used another. Which means, what he told the pharisees
probably applies to arrogant self righteous people. And what he told to
sinners applies to sinners.
I've been encouraging folks
to read the gospels with this in mind. Find people you identify with
and observe how Jesus dealt with them. Feel his body language. Listen
between the lines. Get a sense of his level of affection and/or
disapproval in each situation.
The thing is, so many people
are ambiguous about God ... or even outright doubtful about his motives
toward them. But Jesus said "If you've seen me, you've seen the
Father." So, if Jesus treats sinners with love and respect, I'm
guessing the Father feels the same way. Maybe that's why he sent his
Son to die so we don't have to.
Oh ... and none of this has
anything to do with the pig at the top. I just know how much all you
cats and kittens love my crazy pictures.
Hugs and kisses,
W
