Golden Jesus

"Jesus is bling!"

THE AGED criticizes the young. The young complains about the aged. The middle-aged pretends to be young or identifies as old. Their clothing's wrong. Their lingo's out-of-date. And there’s that hairstyle. That music! If only I could get them in a suit, a pair of ripped jeans, a sweater vest. She's stuck in the ’80's. He is 80.

Did you know God is the Ancient of Days? I picked on Him about this. He took offense. "I'm 33⅓!" And how long ago was that? I asked. He laughed. God’s got a great sense of humor. But seriously peeps, we gotta stoppy-whoppy the nonsense. If we're all going to be so juvenile, then let's go big or go home. I'm all for lowriders and big hair. Back in my day, that was in ... Wait. What day is this? As I was saying ... Stoppy-whoppy the ageism. His shoes. Her dress. His language. All are okeedokee.

And now, I'm digressing in topic briefly. Factoid—people curse. God doesn't like it, but GASP, it will not send you to hell. (Not knowing Jesus does that.) And our calling people out for it sends them away from Him. I mean, if I can pick on Him for being old and know He is okay wid it, then I'm pretty sure He's secure. What people do that offends us causes us to react and our big mouth turns them around. It's God's job to correct people and He's TOP SHELF. Our job is to look like Him. Now, where did I put that Jewish grayheaded wig?

“This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all—becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.” (Philippians 1:10)

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalm 119:165)

Actually, sidetrip again, JESUS IS BLING! After He was Resurrected, He did one of His here-I-am show-up things on the road to Emmaus, and His disciples didn't recognize Him. What-what? (Maybe He was taller.) (Ducking and looking up.) And when John has his revelation, he's blown away by GOLDEN JESUS. I personally want to see Golden Jesus.

Prophet Hank Kunneman had a vision of Jesus wearing camouflage, and Jesus had a comment to him about it, Hank being surprised and all. Yo, Jees, where’s the robe? Jesus identifies as us, is what I'm telling you. He's the LORD OF HOSTS as well as ADONAI and EL SHADDAI. He's “the physical manifestation of the invisible God—the first being to leave infinity and manifest in physical form, and the conduit from which all creation flowed (Colossians 1:15, Remedy).” He's the personification of the Father (John 14:9). He adores children. He is gentle toward the hurting, toward women, toward all people of all cultures. But He is tough as nails with the devil and his stupid fatheads.

We have to lighten up. Leaven the pancakes and embrace the syrup. Allow people to be young and in ripped jeans or old and in elastic pants. Let them dance like a twenty-year-old or sing like Sinatra. God is all ages. We're the ones who are blind. Compassion doesn't look at criteria. Its only point of origin is love. If God loves them, then that's enough. So next time you show your decade, opt for SECOND CENTURY JESUS who died for all ages and rose, age 33⅓, to be King and God forever.

“Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let joy overflow, for you are united with the Anointed One! Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near.” (Philippians 4:4-5 TPT)
