Meaning.
A person or thing that is atypical, bizarre, eccentric, or nonconforming, especially one having beliefs that are unusual but harmless
1. So John the baptist wearing animal skin, eating locust & honey was the one announcing the coming of the promised Messiah????
2. So Mary went to Joseph to say she was pregnant yet had not slept with any man & expected Joseph to believe her????
3. So the woman at the well a prostitute went running into her compound to tell people to “come see the man” who told her secrets and that this is the promised Messiah as tought by the forefathers???
4. So the Shunamite woman said “All is well knowing very well her son had died and journeyed miles to go see the prophet of God?????
5. So Peter unlearned and not able to write his own name expounded the word of God far better than the scribes including Gamaliel ????
6. So Jesus Christ came to His own who rejected Him & so He turned to me a gentile & loved me instead that He had to die a shameful death on the cross just to adopt me as a son???
7. Brethren there be many things that have happened & surely can puzzle us. God’s ways are past finding out. Just because it looks strange does not mean it is not right. Just because Jesus was born in a manger does not make Him less of God. I can be the worst sinner today but I have an equal chance of sitting next to Thomas in Heaven tomorrow morning. The change God brings in us makes us strangers to this world but we remain harmless.
2 Corinthians 6:8-10 KJV
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
1 Corinthians 1:18, 26-27 KJV
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God……..
…………For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
“Well, that’s a whole lot to think about, when a man is satisfied in what he’s doing is right. Though he be an oddball to somebody else, if he is satisfied that what he’s doing is right, then let him stay with it”
