Jesus
Read at least the first two lines....Ever thought of it?
Jesus died over 2000 years ago.
Nobody has ever referred to HIM as the ‘late Jesus’,
Not even the heathens.
Nowhere in history.
Nowhere has HE ever been referred to in the past tense
HE 'is' the Living God!
When Jesus died on the cross HE was thinking of you!
Ten Commandments of Home Rule
1. If you sleep on it - make it up.
2. If you wear it - hang it up.
3. If you drop it - pick it up.
4. If you eat out of it - put it in the sink.
5. If you step on it - wipe it off.
6. If you open it - close it.
7. If you empty it - fill it up.
8. If it rings - answer it.
9. If it howls - feed it.
10. If it cries - love it.                            (The Fight, J. White, IVP, pp. 121ff)
