An Uber update has gone viral because of the driver’s name
The Uber app has changed the private hire business completely, with vast amounts of drivers registering since its inception. It’s hardly surprising, then, that interesting driver names crop up from time to time – like this one.
The screenshot was shared on Twitter by producer and director, Daniel Powell, gaining more than 70,000 retweets in a few days.
Not how I expected him to come back but okay. pic.twitter.com/dW0IdMZnNF

It didn’t seem right that his arrival could be predicted so accurately.
But no one is supposed to know the time or the place!

And with Uber, no one does.

Someone noticed his transport, which wasn’t a donkey.
In a Hyundai Elantra no less.

It didn’t match what was foretold in the scriptures.
No, no, no, Jesus drives a Honda but doesn’t brag about it. “For I did not speak of my own accord” John 12:49.

Of course, if it was Moses he’d be arriving in his triumph.

Katherine Gordon wondered about his other employment.
On Easter Sunday, he’s with Lyft.

It all reminded one Twitter user of a similar situation.
Reminds me of a church once where caretaker was a Chilean called Jesús who liked to put up notices around with his various instructions/reminders:
"Locked all the doors? – Jesus"
"Don't forget to wipe all tops down. – Jesus"
"Flush after use! – Jesus"
"Put cutlery back! – Jesus"— CharlieB (@aFishnHisChips) October 26, 2018
At the end of the journey, Daniel gave Christ an excellent rating.
Update: I gave him 5 stars and tipped him but I think I’m gonna stay Jewish. pic.twitter.com/I5ExzdzJIc

We were kind of hoping he’d write “The Lord moves in mysterious ways.”
