Jerry Can Theology

I saw on Facebook the other day, this

"You can have my jerry can

when you pluck it from my cold dead fingers!"

and thought that they had said it wrong

it should have been said more like this

"You can take my jerry can, here,

would you like to take my other one too?"

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. And He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying “… You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak also. Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.”

Matthew 5:1-2 … 38-42
