Jesus and today

I wonder what Jesus' ministry would have been like if He had a computer or a phone that he could text from. I wonder if he would have been busy doing myspace or facebook or texting his friends instead of loving on people. Imagine Jesus talking to people about God's forgiveness and those people were to busy texting their friends or even worried about how they looked so they put more importance on what they looked like and what people thought of them before they went to hear him.

Jesus was so revolutionary because instead of going with the social norm or worrying about what people thought of him (looks or actions). He wasn't wasting his time texting people or making sure his profile looked great. He was never worried about staying in his group of friends, because if He did, He knew that people wouldn't hear the message of God and that people would feel excluded and not experience His love. Jesus was all about making sure people knew that He loved them and that God has a plan for them.

I want you to think about some of these questions as I have witnessed them at youth group, at school, and on our profiles. When we come to youth group are we more worried about what we look like instead of coming and being excited about what God can do in our lives? Are we more worried about hanging out with our friends so we don't feel uncomfortable instead of making sure that no one is sitting alone and everyone feels loved? Are we more concentrated on our profiles and texting that we don't spend time with God? At our schools are we more worried about what people think of us instead of worrying about what God thinks of us? and on our profiles are we more worried about being cool instead of using it to show that we love God?

I wonder what would have happened if Jesus had an importance on the stuff we do, would his ministry been the same? would people have come and still come to know God?

In Him,
