The Angry Whopper

The Angry Whopper has returned to Burger King.

An Angry Whopper is a standard Whopper sandwich with the addition of a few jalapeno pepper slices, some chipotle ranch sauce, and a slice of pepper jack cheese. 

The receipt printout says "Whopper + Make Angry", and apparently this is how you make a Whopper sandwich angry (although as one who is familiar with a variety of spicy foods, I wouldn't call it "angry" exactly; I might call it "mildly irritated").  "Angry," you see, is not a word I would use to describe a sandwich.

"Angry" is God saying to Pharaoh "You WILL let MY people go, or I will take the lives of all your firstborn!"

"Angry" is God saying to Jericho "You WILL let My people enter the Promised Land, or I will knock your walls down!"

"Angry" is God saying to Satan "You are NOT the ruler of My people, and the blood of My Son is the price of their freedom!"

"Angry" is God saying to death and hell "You may NOT imprison My people anymore, and the Resurrection of My Son is His Victory over you forever!"

The "Angry" of God is the face He shows to Satan and death and hell that is the opposite side of the face of "Love" that He shows to us.  He only shows us the face of "Love," and He only shows them the face of "Angry", and He never confuses the two.

And let us not be confused, either.  When we look at God, we see nothing but "Love."  When Satan looks at God, he sees nothing but "Angry."

And when we look at a Whopper, all we see is a sandwich, no matter how many jalapenos are on it!
