<<Thought you'd like this...

<<Edmund J. Petry
<< < Taste My Jesus!
<< < At the University of Chicago Divinity School each year they have what
<<is
<< < called "Baptist Day." On this day each one is to bring a lunch to be
<<eaten
<< < outdoors in a grassy picnic area. Every "Baptist Day" the school would
<< < invite one of the greatest minds to lecture in the theological
<<education
<< < centre. One year they invited Dr. Paul Tillich. Dr.Tillich spoke for
<<two
<< < and
<< < one-half hours "proving" that the resurrection of Jesus was false. He
<< < quoted
<< < scholar after scholar and book after book. He concluded that since
<<there
<< < was no such thing as the historical resurrection, the religious
<<tradition
<< < of
<< < the church was groundless, emotional mumbo-jumbo, because it was based
<<on
<< < a
<< < relationship with a risen Jesus, who, in fact, never rose from the dead
<<in
<< < any literal sense. He then asked if there were any questions. After
<<about
<< < 30
<< < seconds, an old, dark skinned preacher with a head of short-cropped,
<< < woolly
<< < white hair stood
<< < up in the back.
<< <
<< < "Doctah Tillich, I got one question," he said as all eyes turned toward
<< < him. He reached into his sack lunch and pulled out an apple and began
<< < eating
<< < it.
<< <
<< < "Doctah Tillich..." CRUNCH, MUNCH "My question is a simple
<<question,..."
<< < CRUNCH, MUNCH... "Now, I ain't never read them books you read..."
<<CRUNCH,
<< < MUNCH.. "and I can't recite the Scriptures in the original Greek..."
<< < CRUNCH, MUNCH ... " I don't know nothin' about Niebuhr and
<<Heidegger..."
<< < CRUNCH, MUNCH... He finished the apple.
<< <
<< < "All I wanna know is: This apple I just ate,------was it bitter or
<<sweet?"
<< < Dr. Tillich paused for a moment and then answered in exemplary
<<scholarly
<< < fashion: "I cannot possibly answer that question, for I haven't tasted
<< < your
<< < apple." The white-haired preacher dropped the core of his apple into
<<his
<< < crumpled paper bag, looked up at Dr. Tillich and said calmly, "Neither
<< < have
<< < you tasted my Jesus."
<< <
<< < The 1,000 plus in attendance could not contain themselves. The crowd
<< < erupted
<< < with applause and cheers. Dr. Tillich thanked his audience and
<<promptly
<< < left.
