Jesus eggs?


Is that really Jesus?  No, its eggs in a pan.  If it looks like Jesus to you, that's OK, but, it really is JUST EGGS!  Our imaginations are very powerful tools, because they are both a window into our subconscious and the expression of our creativity.  There is no problem in imagining that the eggs look like Jesus, but it would be wrong to think that they are some profound revelation of or by Jesus, instructing you to do something contrary to the teachings found in the Scriptures.  Consider these two verses from the Bible.

1 Chronicles 28:9 (WEB)


9) You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

Jude 1:3 (WEB)


3) Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Solomon was told by God that HE understood everything that Solomon could think; even the wildest of his imaginations.  So, he was given a choice; to follow or not to follow.  In the New Testament, Jude states simply that "the faith" was "once for all" delivered to the saints.  New revelation, no.  So, if you look at your morning eggs and think they look like Jesus or your Aunt Elizabeth, fine.  Just don't sit right down and write out a new Bible.
