Why We Love Pulled Pork
Pulled Pork is now a thing.
Listen to the audible version of this post at: God in Sixty Seconds
The principle behind pulled pork is the “low-and-slow” cooking method.
That’s why the pork tastes so good and is so tender.
It’s a reaction against fast foods. Cooking should be slow and inefficient.
The God of the Bible loves his low and slow.
Because God works through the inefficiencies in our life:
a failed exam
a career that went nowhere
a broken relationship
The ultimate low-and-slow is Jesus becoming a human like us:
dying for us
living for us
pouring his Spirit into our lives
and each day God makes us more and more into the person he wants us to be.
It’s a long journey. But the destination is worth it.
The Bible says there will be a slow cooked banquet waiting for us.
