Cadbury Eggs - people either love em or hate em. It's no coincidence these candies are only sold around the resurrection of Jesus - these candies are a picture of following Jesus. In fact, the Cadbury Egg IS Jesus! Open up the wrapper and what do you find on the chocolate? The Bethlehem star of course. And don't get me started on things Trinitarian!
The people who love the Cadbury are a part of the few - narrow is the road that leads to righteousness and only a few find it. The people who love the Cadbury look at it as a beautiful candy. It is a privilege to have the Cadbury dwelling within them.
The people who hate the Cadbury see the candy as an offense. They stumble over the idea of eating it - and they stumble with those who are called to eat it. The people who hate the Cadbury see the candy as too much - they cannot handle the flavor. They like the idea of candy, but cannot handle the ultimate candy.
Do not think the Cadbury came to bring peace - no, Cadbury came to divide - husband against wife, fathers against sons.
You cannot call the Cadbury simply a "good" candy. The Cadbury must either be the best or it is insane, of the devil.
But I am not ashamed of the Cadbury! I love the Cadbury will all my heart, soul, mind, and strength! And I have counted the cost - I know I may be mocked. After all, the Cadbury said, "If they persecute me, they will persecute those who eat me."
And no, this is not a religion. Religion is man's attempt to find candy, but this is the Cadbury calling me to be an eater. What a privilege! And so it is no burden to preach this witness to the world. And if you mock me, I will count it a privilege to be worthy of suffering shame for the name of Cadbury.

Seriously?
Wait, no there it is... this post is labeled "humor". For a moment there I thought you had developed a taste for crunchy scrambled eggs...
Cadbury eggs are the best. Although you have to go for the original not the new chocolate ones.
