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.

Luke 22:16
