I Can Tell You Where Jesus Is

 

I Can Tell You Where Jesus Is

“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”

“And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.”

“But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?”

“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.”

He ain’t here!

     No seventy-foot Jesus’.  We don’t just invite Him over for a cozy bunch of tea.  He doesn’t tuck us into bed each night.  He is, the Almighty and He has a place.

     All Heaven is reserved for Him.  Only a habitation as such is worthy of this man’s presence.  Whoa!  Did I say man?  Yes, according to scripture, He inhabits a glorified body now.  “Don’t touch Mary!”  Well, you get the idea.

     Wouldn’t they like to claim that His bones rotted?  That His servants stole His body and snuck it away somewhere?  But, in actuality, Earth is not suitable for the glorified One.  I mean, He had a company of angels to go home to.  His fans at home waited for Him.  His rightful place beside the Father got tired of having the seat warmers plugged in.  His Father longed.  And Jesus satisfied with the reunion.

     To have Jesus roaming around down here would make Him out to be homeless dude, vagabond, and without purpose.  He would be without power and at the whim of society throwing Him coins out of the car window.  This picture God would not stand.

He’s coming back!

“Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

     A little encouragement.  We Americans don’t suffer under a rule of past Romans as our predecessors did to hide themselves in caves.  Yet, we still suffer.  And it is always proper to know the truth to keep our heads on straight in times of stress.

He tarries.  God waits.  And He has the plan.

When George Comes to Visit

  When George Comes to Visit      With the Fender stretched across my lap, and the strings where I want them in an open chord lay, I get a reconfiguring of George Thorogood off my right ear amp.   He visits me in my living room as I wake up in the day.   Coffee, meds, and a bit of legal ‘crank’ that the doc has prescribed to awaken my sluggish head.      Praise God the women aren’t around.   Nearing 12 noon and she makes the run down near Mo Valley to get the order.   Little one is working her waitress job and I get the house all to myself with dog on the futon who doesn’t complain of my fingered whine.      George and his Destroyers sounded great in the back of my pea-green Olds.   K-Mart 6X9’s punched a hole in my back dash with a little 40Watt Panasonic EQ to give the boost.   Me and your mom used to cruise for hours around that sleepy town sitting close and just enjoying each other.      Time well spent.   Not in naughtiness, just two friends, hand-in-hand listening to tune

Brother! You're A Nut!

  Brother!   You’re A Nut! Luke 4      Who waltzes into their hometown, grabs a scroll, flips out a little passage then sits down?   All their eyes were fixed upon you.   “My Thelma, with what gracious words He has blessed us today!”   Yah, yah no women in the synagogue.   But still, all the town’s men were there hanging on Your every word.   Then the jabber –      “Prophet?   Ah’ just fulfilled one and let me lay another on you.   Doc I ain’t but you’re gonna say something is wrong with Me.   Up comes Capernaum.   See what We do there!   Oh, by the way, My kind aren’t liked in their hometown.   Take twin hitters, Elijah and Elisha, God played a bit of favorites when He outsourced them.   No squat gonna happen here in Angryville.”      This was before Your armed men of twelve.   You were flying solo and stood up to the Third Reich.   No backup.   Just a brow of a hill and a long drop.   Lighting the match in the powder room.   You came to seek and save the lost, but first You h
