recognizing Jesus...if we met him today

Where would we meet Jesus today? 

 

Open, curious minds will explore just what sort of a leader Jesus was.  But first we must do what we must do to all of our heroes.  We must lift him from his pedestal and bring him back to Earth. 

I am of the conviction that if we were to meet Jesus today, it would be on the streets near Wall Street, or on the White House steps, demanding equal justice for the 99%.  It would be Jesus who would lead the way into the Wall Street Banks and turn over the counters and drive the money lenders out. 

It would be Jesus walking alongside the homeless.  It would be Jesus teaching on the hill, sending out email pleas for baskets of fish and loaves of bread and jugs of wine.  It would be Jesus who would open the flood gates to all the secret documents which would expose the Empire's underhanded plans. 

And most of those who currently call out their love for Jesus would turn and curse him...if he were here today.
