A Game For Good Christians

It’s now time to address that scythe wielding, six winged, cherub whose coming heralds fear in the heart of humanity [read that reference again] . . .

This Easter remember, “the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many.” Wait, WTF?!

In discussing how fast "faith can move mountains," Matthew cuts Mark's three-day story in half. He speeds up the pace, chronologically and theologically. 

Jesus is a bad ass. No, that’s not blasphemy. It’s fact. Jesus, the incarnation of divinity, the second person of the Trinity, the fullness of the godhead in flesh, spent most of His time officially not screwing around. His handling of His “trial” at the hands of the uptight religious leaders is testimony to this.

There is a case to be made that this naked boy was really an angel sent to leave Jesus a change of clothes . . .

The disciples slept through Judas' treachery no matter how much Jesus tried to shake them awake. From what social and spiritual stupors must we awake? What are we sleeping through? 

These people that I read about and had put on a pedestal were no better than me. They sucked just as much as I do. But God still used them and told us their stories. That gave me hope.
