"Jesus' Last Texts" cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward
THE PARABLE:
Never answers. Never.
Here are a few theories as to why:
1. He isn't there to answer.
2. He sucks at communicating.
3. He doesn't care.
4. I'm doing something wrong.
5. He's out of range.
6. Either my phone's not sending or his isn't receiving.
7. Your guess is as good as mine.
Hypothetical questions (if he is “there”):
What could he have done anyway?
What
would he have done anyway?
Dive down and swoop me up? A dramatic rescue?
That wouldn't be his style. (If there is a “he” and if he has a “style”.)
So, even though I get frustrated and even angry, I get it.
I think.
