You know how in Texas there is a saying: Don’t mess with Texas.? Well the early followers of Jesus had something similar. Today’s gem of wisdom comes from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, chapter 4, verse 1:
Next, he was going through the village again and a running child bumped his shoulder. Becoming bitter, Jesus said to him, “You will not complete your journey.”
Immediately, he fell down and died.
Never, ever, think about bumping against Jesus’ shoulder. That dude is hard-core. Always check your subway cars for child-Jesus if you wanna make it to work on time… and alive.
