PARABLES OF JESUS – The New Norm
Luke 15:15-16
" 'Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.' "
Pigs were an abomination to the Jews, so he had really hit bottom when he had to feed them. Not only that, but he was so hungry that he had to eat their food. Hog slop is so gross!!! He never imagined in his wildest dreams that he would stoop so low. But as the old saying goes, "Sin will take you places you never want to be, and farther than you ever want to go." People say, "I never want to be like .... (the wino, or the addict, or the prostitute, or incarcerated, or their dad)," but they end up just like that because of sin. Then eating pig slop becomes the new norm. The way to avoid the pig pen is to remain in the house of the Father and live by His rules.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Rebellion takes us places we never wanted to be.
Have a Jesus-normal day. Love you.
