Putting Jesus into Place

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

Peace will not hurt any bottom line that matters.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Who can count the blessings you send?
No one.
Who can repay your kindness?
No one.
Who can comprehend your wisdom?
No one.
Who can match your power?
No one.
Who can understand your mercy?
No one.
Who can divine your love?
Anyone.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Guys, when you go shopping for the Passover meal, see if you can find some of those Dove chocolates to go with the wine – much better than some dry bread.”

[Might get more folks to participate in mass/communion, but He never said it.]

D. Blog: Trying to Put Jesus in Place

I heard a great Easter sermon yesterday. How do we answer the question “Where did you put Jesus?” We Christians say He is risen, but then we try to pin Him down, put Him back into a box/tomb. Instead, we should try to go where He is now. We should allow Him to put us where He wants us. Hint: that’s not among the rich and powerful.
