Thespian Theological Thoughts
Michael Card's wonderful song "God's Own Fool"1 has long been an inspiration to me -- because I'm a fool, you see. Card's lyrics show how Jesus played the fool to demonstrate that our assumptions and beliefs are often wrong and that much can be accomplished if, despite the seeming foolishness, we "believe the unbelievable" and become fools with and for Christ.
It seems I've imagined him all of my life
As the wisest of all of mankind,
But if God's holy wisdom is foolish to men,
He must've seemed out of his mind.
