Welcome

Have you been on the same road as me? Full of expectations, but always surprised by God? This seems to be the way He operates, isn't it? One day He meets your expectations, the next day it's all upside down.

That's how the disciples on the Road to Emmaus felt after the crucifixion. Like every other Jew in Jesus' time, they believed that God's Messiah would overturn their fortunes. But instead of throwing out the Romans, He'd thrown out the Temple merchants instead. Rather than starting a Jewish insurrection after His Triumphal Entry, He meekly bowed His head to the whips and thorns.

I'm going to explore this Upside Down God on this blog. And as we examine His history with man down through the years we're going to discover that this Almighty One thinks at a different level. But we'll also discover that it all works together for our good, and for His glory.

I hope you'll join me for the journey!
