A look at the life and interaction of Jesus.
The more unsavory the characters, the more at ease they seemed to feel around Jesus. People like these found Jesus appealing: a Samaritan social outcast, a military officer of the tyrant Herod, a tax collector, and a recent hostess to seven demons.
In contrast, Jesus got a chilly response from more respectable types. Pious Pharisees thought Him uncouth and worldly, a rich young ruler walked away shaking his head, and even the open-minded Nicodemus sought a meeting under the cover of darkness.
This pattern seems strange to me, since the Christian church now attracts respectable types who closely resemble the people most suspicious of Jesus on earth. What has happened to reverse the pattern of Jesus' day? Why dont sinners like being around us?
I think we all know why this person chose to remain anonymous. "Don't" has an apostrophe. I am pretty sure Jesus would have caught that mistake and pointed it out.
We the staff of the The Grove dig the flowers on our coffee table in the office BIG BIG.
Yes, I said "the The." You can mark me down on my next paper.
