Bubblical

Mankind has a problem with evil. God doesn’t. Evil is always personal and personified which brings the problem home to us. We make evil a joke or horrendous, but both keep us away from understanding evil. Jesus runs with the Devil to give us a good understanding of how evil really is personal. Luke 4:1-15

We have 99 problems and evil is everyone of them. We need evil to be crushed and Jesus heads to the desert and the cross to do the job. Luke 4:1-15

We’re all busy looking for answers and we all know that our life is defined by our connections. What about God?  Who is God connected to? Jesus’ connections and who he is connected is what Uncle Luke has for us in Luke 3:22-38. Let’s get connected.

God has been playing out his story from the beginning. We are bombarded by the rancor of hopeless negativity and we easily get sucked down with it!  What’s your good news?  Luke, Johny and the whole Jesus gang Point us to God’s dude Isaiah (chapter 40) for a clear picture of good news and it’s all about God. Get a grip on good news and let the bad news go.

The main event is here and the man for God’s main event is Johny, otherwise known as The Baptizer. The word of God was put into John’s hands and Johny delivers!  Jesus is now on center stage in the greatest story ever played.

Sometimes like is better than love. We can say we love someone, but really not like them. Do we like God is our question?  Is God likable? God’s book breaks the pattern of religion, because is actually down to earth and likable.

God in low places continues to honor God’s Underdogs, Simeon and Ana, underdogs under God. Rooting for underdogs is God’s idea first. Luke 2:18-38.

The world has trouble finding God because they simply look in the wrong places. Wanna find God, start in low places like the peasant home where Joseph and Mary are staying.

Zechariah, good guy, has been in God’s dog house and silenced by His angel. His niece Mary has been praising God for and even bigger miraculous pregnancy of her own, and his wife Elizabeth has now given birth to John. Zechariah comes out of the dog house, lesson learned, and he has something we should all hear!  Luke 1:57-end of chapter 1.

Hail Mary. God puts the women at front and center of His story. Mary is our example on how to Hail God.
