Extraneous Cranius (or something)

What do the two pictures below have in common?

 

Both the roider and Stewie have heads that don't match their bodies.  I have learned that you can find a redeeming element in anything...any story...including the abuse of drugs and the obscenity of Family Guy...because redemption is found not within but outside in the grander Story.  There is huge Gospel implications in the characters above, that the Gospel (For you sake, He became sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God) not only saves us for eternity but also sanctifies us today (I like to call it Jesus Swag).

1 Corinthians 12:27 says, "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it."

And, Ephesians 4:15-16 says, "...speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."

Followers of Jesus, Christians, Believers, Children of God, are freaks to the world.  Scripture clearly teaches that the Cross is foolish and offends those who are not saved.  But our peculiarity should have nothing to do with how we as Christ's body correspond to our head, Jesus.  Do YOU resemble JESUS?  Take inventory of your heart, what stirs your affections?  If you are honest (which for Christians seems to be an issue) you have to admit that your heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick.  If you don't admit it, read Jeremiah 17:9.  For us to grow into our head, Jesus, we need to nearly moment-to-moment preach the Gospel to ourselves, that we aren't deserving of His Grace, but Jesus offers it to us freely (as Americans, we know "freedom don't come free"...Jesus's flesh was ripped off and his holiness was obliterated with the whole world's sin).  We love because He first loved us...Obeying Jesus, then is not a have to but a get to.

A mark of your maturity as a Believer, a sure sign you got Jesus Swag, that the head and body are proportionate, is that when you sin you run to Him and not from Him to clean yourself up.
