A Bird Can Sure Sing Theology


Luke 6:12-49, I Kings 7

I am studying my Sunday school lesson that I will teach Sunday.

“Love your enemy”, “turn the other cheek,”  “give to anyone who asks,” did Jesus really mean this?  These passages are the subject of my Sunday school lesson this week and I read them anew this morning.  After reading it I asked myself, Did Jesus really mean this?  He seemed to think so.  In fact He implies that if I don’t live this way I’m not truly redeemed.  I need to really dwell on this today.  There is something happening this morning that will help me with my thoughts.  I’m studying in the darkness and chilled morning of my porch.  The woods are filled with singing birds.  There’s one bird, very close, who is singing with all his heart.  He’s never stopped.  I wonder if he would sing no matter his lot in life?  Somehow I know, without a shadow of doubt that he would.
