Do you realize that as soon as we were conceived, we were given a certificate of death? It's similar to a birth certificate, only the date is left blank, and we're left to wonder when that day will be. . . .
Do you realize that when God became flesh, He lived right among us and nobody recognized Him?
Imagine having God living next door.
"Honey, there's a new neighbor moved in beside us, can we give him a cake or something?"
"Sure no problem sweety."
Knock knock.
"Hi my name is Bernie. We live next door and we'd like to welcome you to the neighborhood. What's your name?"
"God."
"Oh that's nice; here's a cake."
Jesus was invincible, but He chose to die for us. The grave couldn't even hold Him! And now my certificate of death has been canceled, ripped, burned, destroyed so that it's zilch, nothing, nada!

Now you got a church sermon before most of you people at home have even gone to church today! Ah, the advantages of being ahead of you guys (excepting Jane of course) is strange but blissful.

I love it! I have never thought of it quite like that. I love painting simple pictures of an aspect of God with words. (does that last little bit make any sense? It does in my head but then you never know what is happening in there.)
:o)
