The Wave Returns

Why You Might Not Want To Be In Sunday School With Me

Posted on April 25, 2012February 26, 2020

We were talking about the Apostle Paul traveling around doing his apostle thing when this conversation took place (recreated as well as I can):

Man: Well, I see the rules that Paul set forth and wonder why we’re not following them better.

Teacher gets a gleam in her eye and turns to me.

Teacher: Jeannine, do you have any ideas about that?

I look at her, deciding whether to nod, smile and claim ignorance.

Me: As far as I’m concerned, one Jesus card  beats a hand full of Pauls.

Man: (looking confused) I don’t know what you mean.

Me: I mean Paul was as much a Disciple as Pete Best was a Beatle.

I stand by that position, but it took a while to explain what I meant to him.

“Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it, it’s height, the way the sunlight refracts…and then it crashes on the shore and then it’s gone.

“But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a while. That’s one conception of death: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from, and where it’s supposed to be.”
