Was Jesus A Redneck?

Heck yeah he was … especially when compared to the religious leaders who got in his face. And don't roll your eyes 'cause there's a point here:

-The temple priests in Jerusalem were like today’s New York City bankers & stock brokers: hearing about a country preacher from Nazareth got them riled-up that things weren’t being done “the proper well-mannered way”

-Arriving in Jerusalem, the disciples were awed like country boys falling off the turban-truck and seeing “the big city” for the first time

-After hearing about Jesus, the priests asked each other, “Has anything good ever come from Nazareth?” (sorta like modern-day Belton)

-After Christ’s arrest, one of Peter’s accusers identified him by his accent

-The first miracle was turning water into “wine-shine”

-There’s some really big-time Takin’ Names and Kickin-A in Revelation

And not even King James' scribes' best flowery prose could turn the Prince of Peace from into a limp-wristed lamb-kisser.
