Embrace the weird!

Weird = “involving or suggesting the supernatural; unearthly or uncanny” (Dictionary.com). Many in the church have been so super naturally neutered that when asked about the parting of the Red Sea, bread falling from heaven, water coming from a rock, the ground opening up to swallow thousands of rebellious unbelievers, or the resurrection of Jesus Christ, they are tempted to either scientifically explain it away, or pass it off as an allegory or figure of speech. Jude calls his audience to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints; this faith, founded on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, means supernatural beliefs with supernatural living. This might seem weird to some, but it is reality for those who are set free by the gospel!
