While we enjoyed a barbecue tonight we were entertained by a skywriter tracing out “Jesus saves”. Australians and Americans would do well to follow his example.

Hmm. For some reason I’m reminded of the emperor Constantine seeing the cross in the sky with the words “in hoc signo vinces”. Wonder if they had skywriters in the 4th century?
John,
Also at a barbeque tonight and saw the same sign.One of those attending was the signwriters neighbour.
Your suggestion for an alternative message for Brisbane …..?
How about “Time for a barbie”
If Jesus does indeed save, why hasn’t he stepped forward already. If the entity really exists, I dare say he’s wiped his hands of the lot of us & moved on.
Or as Jethro Tull so memorably put it:
“Well if Jesus saves,
he’d better save himself,
From the gory glory-seekers,
Who use his name in Death”
Lord, save us from your followers!
