Liked the poem; "buy the cross get the Jesus" indeed. Liked even more your thought: "Too often, I think American Christians canâ€™t be surprised by Jesus anymore." You're right that there are some tables that need overturning. I'm hopeful that our generation is the one that will let Jesus upset the status quo here.
