But when he heard ole Lazarus was ailin', he just up and stayed put fer two more days. (John 11:6, The Hillbilly Bible)
I reckon the most awesome thing about King Jesus fer me ain't the heaven stuff. Oh, I know it will be when I git there, but fer me that ain't the most awesome thing "right now". I'm a "right now" kinda guy...along with most a the rest a the world, I reckon. I wanna know how this whole Jesus thing is gonna benefit me "right now", not in year 4769.
The most awesome thing fer me "right now" is that I got a 24/7 Therapist. That's right, y'all! And I need it! On account a sometimes I feel like my turnips ain't in full bloom! That's one a them times that I needs to lie down on the couch and talk to The Therapist! One a the names the Bible calls King Jesus is "wunnerful counselor". That's just dandy, y'all. I got me a 24/7 Therapist!
Y'all know what The Wunnerful Counselor taught me? He taught me that life ain't no emergency, it's a journey, and he taught me to enjoy the journey. Lemme pontificate fer a spell.
See y'all, we human beans tend to see ever'thang as a emergency and The Messiah tends to see 'nuthin' as an emergency, not even impendin' death, as in the case a His buddy Lazarus. See y'all, God ain't got no emergencies! An emergency is when somethin' bad is fixin' to happen that cain't be undone. See why God don't have no emergencies! There ain't nuthin' bad that can happen that He cain't undo!
When ole Lazarus died somethin' bad happened, but King Jesus wud'n in hurry cuz He knowed His Daddy could undo anything bad that might happen. Ain't that cool! So, let's do some hillbilly logic here...if'n God ain't got no emergencies, and you belong to Him then YOU ain't go no emergencies!
So quit runnin' 'round afraid like a chicken with yer head cut off. RELAX. No emergencies. Now, ain't that enough to make yer turnips bloom.
