Jesus on Rachel Alexander

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

“Blessed are the peacemakers.” – Jesus
“Blessed are those who go to war.” – US government

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

You don’t watch as an outside observer; you see as an involved participant.
You don’t look on as a casual viewer; you feel the emotions of the action.
You don’t scan our lives for the high and low points; you know what goes on beneath the surface and understand the minor triumphs and the small sufferings and sacrifices.
You comprehend the fullness of our existence and you bless us and pronounce it good.
I am an open book before you. Read into it what you will.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“That’s right. I said 200 denarii on Rachel Alexander – to win!”

[Acting on an inside tip, He never said it.]
