Yessiree, Bob, here I am, back from actually attending a church service! "Back In The Day"...that would be 33AD, on April 5th, THE MOST significant event in world history occurred...JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND PERMANENTLY KICKED SATAN'S BUTT!!! OK, OK...that's a dynamic equivalent translation of the original Greek...so sue me..."He bruised his head" according to Genesis 3....Hey, any covering angel who rose up in rebellion against the Living and True God in heaven itself MUST have his head where the sun don't shine, so "kicked his butt" WOULD have "bruised his head!" ;p In any event, it's a once and done event with continuing results...thus, written in the perfect tense of New Testament Greek! A perfect tense for a perfect event...kinda providentially coincidental in a PRE-Reformational, Van Tillian, Zen Buddhist world Feng Shui! (Of course I can bring in feng shui...it was a God-given earthquake that rolled away the stone that fateful day...the angel found sitting on the rock to annouce Christ's Departure had the easy part!...wonder what his name was?)So, today we celebrate Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem where he was riding a donkey colt in his symbolic King of Kings entrance (predicted in Zechariah 9:9 for you Biblical scholars) to the city that would turn on him in no time flat by the end of the week...hmmm, I guess I just defined the time period known as "no time flat"...5 days...producing a REALLY "bad day at the office" for the Lord...mentioned in post 2:96. AND, providentially in the coincidence of God, "You Can't Keep A Good Man Down" has rolled around on my computer list "New Mellow"...even if their context aint anywhere CLOSE to Christ's Resurrection, I'm going to appropriate some lyrics from this Alabama song:
"I'm pickin' myself up off the floor"...right off the rock in The Tomb! (Can you say "Shroud of Turin?!!")
To Satan: "You thought you could break me, add me to your list"... Obviously, YOU MORON, you didn't read the whole Script!! (Maybe that should be Script-ure)
"Gonna dress up in My finest..." (Can you say, Resurrection Duds?!!)
Oh, Yeah...now it's Judy Collins' "Both Sides Now." Sure enough, He was Himself in eternity past, "took on the likeness of human flesh" for 33 years, and returned to Glory before He returns for US!! OOORAH, OOORAH!!
Got palms up praise and worship service here at Stonewalled Charismatic Presbyterian Church?!!
