A Bacon Wrapped Gospel

In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”(Acts 10:12-14 ESV) With the receipt nervously rustling through my fingers, I waited for my number to be declared across the loudspeaker. As it was called out, I felt that I was instantly the winner of the day. I grabbed the brown paper sack that was slowly becoming transparent, as the grease in its contents seeped through. Then as I dug through the fries, revealing the treasure of my Lil Bacon Cheeseburger - All The Way, my mouth began to water. I thought I heard a heavenly chorus. I peeled back the foil to reveal it’s goodness. As I bowed my head, I uttered the words, ‘God, in this moment I supremely thank you for the New Covenant and my participation in it! Amen’ After that narrative, two things are probably happening. First, you're hungry, (so treat yourself today!) Second, you are trying to figure out what in the world my 5 Guys restaurant experience has to do with the New Covenant. To figure that out, you need to be there on Sunday! We will continue to work our way through the book of Acts, but if you want to take a few guesses, read through Acts 10 before Sunday.
