Puny Pansiness

A guy told me yesterday that He's glad Jesus stopped all the O.T. sacrifice system because, "you know, all that sacrificing would be a lot of work. I'm lazy so I'm glad Jesus has made it easier by His grace." I was an in a setting that required me to respond to his opinion in prayer. The prayer was, "Jesus, I dread your new covenant, because its not some bird or bull being ripped open and burnt......its me..... As much as I want the gospel to be about me cleaning up the highway, the reality of the gospel is run for your ----ing lives BECAUSE SOMEONE'S COMIN' down your highway!!!!!!!!! As much as I want to get my life in order. Jesus has come to obliterate my order. I strive to get civilized and Jesus is so *$&% uncivilized that He comes after all attachments, all civilities, all orders and baptizes them all with fiery Kingdom craziness. In summary - John wearing a loin cloth and munching locusts out in the middle of who knows where is such a mild form & picture of the wild, savage heart of Christ. In summary - I'm a puny pansy. Jesus please make me wild like you.
