Hello Stranger

There is a woman in my church who works during the week at night.  Most of the time, I only see her on Sundays.  When she comes into the church, she greets you like it has been months since she has seen you.  By the time she gets through kissing you and hugging on your neck, you are smiling from ear to ear.  I think that I would like to meet Jesus that way.  Even though the wait is long, I will be so glad to see him when he returns.  I won't ask where he has been or why he took so long.  I just want to kiss his presence, fall on his neck and leave him smiling from ear to ear.

I HATE to wait.

I hate to wait.  I hate waiting like I hate hell.  I really can't recall anyone I know who likes to wait.  We all hate waiting.  I have learned though, that some things are worth waiting for.  I would rather buy something more costly with better wear than to run to the Dollar store and buy something that is shredded after the first wash.  I have to ask myself," What is worse?  Do I want to wait for something better or get something now, let is snap in two weeks, and yet be waiting for something better?"  This is what I equate in the Kingdom.  I would rather wait for Jesus to return.  I don't want to run to another god and then watch that god bow down to Jesus.  I'll just whistle and shuffle my feet until Jesus comes.

I'm good...........

Let the Dead Bury the Dead: Theologically off

Another issue Jesus could have addressed is this ancient belief that the rotting flesh of their loved ones atoned for sin.  When people went back in for the second burial, they believed that all the decayed flesh made them clean.  That is not too far from how we believe today.  We don't believe we are saved by dead loved ones, but we sure will point to our saved grandmother, who was an evangelist, or our saved uncle, who was a pastor.  Being a relative of a saved person don't make you saved.  If someone asks about your salvation and all you can point to is your cousin's husband, on your mother's side, once removed, who was a church deacon, you are reachin.........
