Who is Jesus to you?
We all have a different picture of him. It's colored by our upbringing, our lifestyle and our political ideology. Read a book or watch a television show and it influences your opinion. It can be influenced by such trivial things as the weather or who wins a football game. (Geaux Saints!)
What box have you put him in? Is He outraged by the same things that outrage you? Do you see the person who cut in front of you in traffic the way that He does? Does He wish that you had shared your lunch with the obviously homeless person you saw in the park? Does He care more about how much we love people than how well we follow the "thou shalt nots"?
When we get down to brass tacks I don't know how well Jesus would fit into most of our churches and most of our lives. More on this later, but it's a topic I'm going to do more musing on!
