Laugh a little

Jesus had some great Dis's in the Bible! He called the Pharisees a "brood of vipers," then on another occasion he called them "white washed tombs", full of putrid and decaying flesh!!!(Matthew 5:29,30;18:,9) Can you imagine the crowd of nonChristians and Christian's reactions to a dis like that? Can’t you hear the crowd around him snickering and going "Oh shnap! Did he really just say that!?!" I almost picture it like he just let out a great yo' mama joke! hahaha
thought from the Humor of Christ

I definitely would have loved to been around when Jesus was doing the dissin'!!! I woulda been like "Dat's my boy!! Hit 'em again Jesus!!!" No for real though I wonder if I ever frustrate Jesus enough that He wants to say that stuff to me? And sometimes I feel like He has "dissed" on me before, but luckily for me He never disses without encouragement as well. He doesn't wanna leave me hurt and feeling like a piece of dirt. He wants to point out my wrongs so I'll learn from them and then move on with a new perspective and strength to carry on! Amen!

Keep up the good postin'!

Holla atcha boy,

I think that this also shows that Jesus really has a since of humor but I love how when ever he does diss someone he definitely does it to make them truly think about what they did and why they did it. I know for sure that there are many times that Jesus probable would have dissed on me but I know for sure that it was something that I would have or did need to hear. It's a way of being real and down to earth with us while making us think about our actions deeper then what they look like.

A great point which the book i read includes. My one concern that eats at me in the back of my head is, "Does this mean we have to be intentional about everything?" Can i tell a joke just flippantly or does part of growing up and caring include me having to be intentional as Jesus was with every action? It's scary and i don't know if i am capable of it!?!
