Gene Wilder has always been one of my favorite actors! And this picture from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory really shows his quirky side; that mischievous side of him that shines through to bring pleasure to everyone! I look at this picture and only one word comes to mind- "Really"!!! You can pick the topic, but the word still returns- Really, it does!!!
As far as the text of the picture- well, it is just common sense. The police are just trying to do a job, so obey without a fuss and things will not escalate. Better yet, never break the law at all- things just might be a whole lot better for you!!!
Again, sounds like just common sense, but in a society that has turned its back on God, this is NEWS!!! For those who follow God, we have a standard, and we need to follow it...
Romans, Chapter 13 (WEB)
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. 2 Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same, 4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil. 5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, attending continually on this very thing. 7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Once you have read the Romans passage- do it; life will be much better with a heavenly guidepost to follow!!!
ps. The next time you see a police officer, thank him for his service- I guarantee you will make his day.
