Lent 22 - A thought for a rainy Saturday - Think about this!

WWJD – What would Jesus Do?

A catchy little phrase from a rather smaltzy book from the turn of the century

But it’s a fair question!

We of course

Being who we are

Play with this phrase a lot

Trying to making our point!

WWJS – who would Jesus Shoot (the tag for the NRA)?

WWJS  -  What would Jesus say (something we should think of re: Facebook)?

WWJL – Who would Jesus Love (applicable in our hateful times)?

WWJK – Kill?  I don’t think so, but its out there

WWJD – Who would Jesus Deport?  Provocative.  Probably no one.

WWJS – See!?  The poor, the hurting, but sadly many of us don’t see them

WWJW  - this is my new one…

Where would Jesus worship?  Or maybe better yet, WWJH, with whom would Jesus hangout  (OK, that is WWWJH).

I think this is something we could well think on.

Do you think he would be rubbing shoulders with the Wall Street Elite?  67 of whom make more than billions of other Americans?

Do you think he would be hanging out at and worshiping at Mars Hill, or Hagee’s mega hate palace, or with Osteen in his plush megachurch that pampers the pampered?

Where do you see Jesus living?

Where do you see him spending his days, or for that matter his nights?

It’s a question that may change your perspective about America’s values

America’s form of Christianity.

Your own values (it sure makes me have to think -  do I take too much, do I give enough?)

It might even inform our politics.

I have a hunch he would be hanging out with those the far right calls lazy moochers
