Wise advice: Bring back the baby
Is Jesus missing from your life?
The parishioners from Mesa Verde United Methodist Church in Costa
Mesa might say so -- tongue-in-cheek, of course.
A hand-painted, life-sized plywood baby Jesus (and a sheep) were
stolen from the church’s nativity scene last week, the Rev. Stephanie
Toon said.
It’s clearly time to clear up a little misconception: You can’t
steal Jesus. Those signs and bumper stickers that say “Got Jesus” are
not suggesting you go out and physically get a Jesus.
The sheep may be on the lam, but church officials say the theft is
likely a childish prank.
Let’s hope the baby Jesus and his sheep are guided home before
Christmas.
