Whenever three or more are gathered, a critic is always there among them. This is just as true in heaven as on earth. The critic stood up and said, “Now wait a minute. You are telling us that you’re going to leave heaven and go down there and be born like every other person. I was watching this kid be born the other day and it was a bloody mess. You don’t have to put yourself through that.”
\nThe Word said, “I know. Sit down. Next question.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus calls a press conference to announce to the Angels his plans “to turn the rebels back to the Father”, as told by Wade Hodges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThe Word gave the critic’s question a thoughtful pause before he said, “Most won’t, but some will. All I need is a few.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go<\/a> and be a fly on the wall of heaven and listen to what it might have sounded like as Jesus laid out his outlandish plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
