Please note that as I write this my tongue is firmly
implanted in my cheek. I mean no
disrespect to anyone but this topic has had me up far too early today. It was spawned by a discussion of racist
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
That, however, is a discussion best left for later.
It did get me thinking about Jesus toast. There are several incidents available for
view where the image of Jesus has been seen on toast. I have also found Jesus French toast and
Jesus pancakes. There is Jesus grilled
cheese out there as well. In my
searching I also found Jesus tortillas, English muffins, and waffles. Since most Waffle Houses are in the Bible
belt this makes sense.
Added to my discoveries was that one can purchase Jesus
toasters, sandwich grills, and waffle irons.
I would much prefer my encounters with Jesus to be natural rather and
arranged through hot iron manipulation. If
Jesus is going to show up on my toast I want it to be because he directly
intervened rather than a friend who has a Jesus toaster.
Of course anything that calls attention to Jesus is OK by
me. I think there are things that are
absurd like a Jesus toaster. I also
think those things give opportunity for those who take Christ seriously to show
a difference in how they respond to things having to do with God.
If I find Jesus on my grilled cheese sandwich I will likely capture
the image on my phone and eat the sandwich before it gets cold. I cannot fathom any honorable purpose for selling
said sandwich on eBay. What intrigues
and troubles me the most about all of this is that people will clamor to see
the image of Jesus on and English muffin but will not put forth the effort to
see him in their lives.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
