Man Lets Jesus Take The Wheel And Truck Flips 5 Times

A Tennessee man flips his truck five times after letting go of the steering wheel because Jesus wanted to drive.

According to reports, Chad O. England flipped his truck five times on a Tennessee interstate earlier this week after he thought Jesus was calling him and advising him to let go of the wheel and let Jesus do the driving.

After the accident England told officers that he was behind the wheel, but that he wasn’t driving at the time of the crash. Because, you know, Jesus was driving.

And that’s what he did. As a consequence of his special relationship with Jesus, England’s truck flipped five times.

After receiving medical clearance, England was transported to the Sullivan County Jail. No one was injured in the accident; and, as usual, Jesus was nowhere to be found.

… they (deputies) found six grams of marijuana, 0.6 grams of cocaine, a pipe, rolling papers, a 3/4 empty bottle of Crown Royal, a small empty bottle of Crown Royal, and several cans used for ‘huffing.’

Looks like he didn't get hurt at least not seriously and neither did anyone else. It's a MIRACLE!!!!

Ummmm I wish this wasn't necessary.

I mean, Jesus isn't even an American. Just another friggin' immigrant that thinks he can flaunt the laws of the US. LOCK 'EM UP!

...she was some biggie in the local episcopal church. We were driving 3 hrs to go pick up some youth pastor or something. As we were driving down the freeway she was telling me she sees Jesus all the time (eye roll from me at this point). She said 'you don't believe me" I said 'I believe YOU believe you can see jesus in front of you...just DON'T let him drive!"..because at that point I'm sure that's just what she was going to do.

walk on its own, and you'll still get there. The only things Jesus is recorded as driving were the money-changers out of the temple.

Don't let Jesus drive!

After reading the passage, "The Spirit drove Jesus into the desert," (Mark 1:12), I always envisioned a jeep.
