When they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some believers before the
city authorities, shouting, "These people who have been turning the world upside down have
come here also."
Have things in your life ever been turned upside down?
When Jesus came into the world, he certainly turned things upside down. Jesus said things like,
"But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first." "Love your enemies, do good to
those who hate you."
All of this says there is hope. When our world is turned upside down, Jesus is on call to turn
things right side up.
(Acts 17:6
NRSV)
There was once a somewhat backward farmer who stopped by his neighbors to tell them that their
son was stuck in a mud hole. "How deep is he sunk?" the boy's father asked. "About to his
ankles," the farmer replied lazily. "Well," said the father, "only up to his ankles--we've got time to
set awhile and have a drink before we go." "I don't think so," the laid-back farmer answered.
"He's in head first."
Loving God, when things get turned upside down, help me to right my ship. Amen.
