I thought of that when I saw this picture....
A zoo is an artificial environment where we think we are going to look at wild animals.
They aren't wild. Zoos aren't natural. They pen once wild animals up in a place where they are isolated from any danger they could cause.
Too often I think Christians put God into their own little Church Zoo.
He's safe in there.
He can't claw at us.
Doesn't he look just like a little teddy bear.
That's not the way God really is. That's just the way he appears.
Let's let God out of the cage. Run the risk of him ripping us to shreds. Look at him in his natural environment.
Then we might know just how good he really can be.
Otherwise he might just become a freak show for 2nd graders to visit on a field trip.
Thanks to Abraham Piper for the picture idea.
