So goes the well-known saying.
But even I doubt that God has worked in a more mysterious way than getting people in Mexico to worship in front of a massive effigy of his son, but one that looks like Phil Collins.
Yes:
Well, I suppose that Phil – now 74 – has been around for a while. He was in Genesis, and that’s the very first book of the Bible. I must admit that I had always thought that there was at least one woman and a snake involved, but when I checked up on this, I found that the other protagonists were called Tony and Mike.
I never really paid much attention in R.E. though.
Well, at the time, you never really consider that you’ll need some of that knowledge for a blog post several (or more) decades on, do you?
Anyway, I don’t know if anyone at the church is a big fan of Phil Collins, but you’d have to imagine that someone at the Jesus moulding factory is. Things like this don’t just happen for no reason. There’s definitely a hidden message in this story.
[don’t forget to insert a suitably amusing Phil Collins song title here to finish the post]
