Ummmm, I guess I shouldn’t loathe zombies so much.
In my generation, zombies were the bad guys. They were to be feared.
To my chagrin, when I come back 16 years after being on the mission field, and now zombies are good guys. Everybody is fascinated by them. They dress up like them for Halloween. Lots of movies and video games are about them.
So I’m trying to understand the cultural shift. And as I think about zombies, I realize they’re kind of Christian. I mean, what is Christianity about except coming back from the dead.
So… I’m going to be a zombie.
But unlike the zombies of popular culture, I’m not going to be bloodied and gored. In fact, I’m going to have the best most youthful version of my body, made of glorified matter, in Heaven.
As you celebrate Halloween, I invite you to think not on the fantasy but the reality of coming back from the dead. As you prepare for Halloween, why don’t you also prepare for the reality of the Judgement before Christ.
Accept Jesus into your heart today. Ask forgiveness of your sins. Begin to pursue God in your thoughts and actions. Be a real zombie.
I love this. Thanks for sharing it.
Praise Him!
I’m there already!
Are you writing me from Heaven?
No Not totally, but I am walking dead!
The truly undead. The best kind of undead to be. 😉
😀
Good twist! Sounds like the sort of thing Paul would say, judging from his contextual sermons recorded in Acts.
The “Walking Living”…because of Jesus and the Spirit!
that’s a good title. i hope it catches on
