Flipping Tables — A Quiet Reckoning
There is a version of Jesus Christ I am comfortable with:gentle, patient, merciful, kind. The One who heals.The One who restores.The One who whispers peace into restless places. But then…there is the One who flips tables. And I find myself unsettled. Because if He walks into the temple of my heart,What would He overturn? I…
