Jesus is the Alexander Hamilton of his day

(There might be too many historical nuances that would need to be explained, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true) 

Alternative Hypothesis: Jesus would have loved Instagram

Jesus showed up in the material world to reveal that immense, mysterious, beautiful god-love in action. The first thing to know about Jesus is that he is a badass.  He’s sly, and smart, and sarcastic, three of my favorite qualities. He kept getting into trouble with the religious authorities because he persisted in hanging around people, including women, who were marginalized and powerless. If Jesus had lived in the 21st century he definitely would have posted all his events on Instagram. With music.

But the main quality Jesus possessed is that he is a spirit person: He is a funnel, or conduit for the Spirit. He had this supernatural ability to translate all the power, love, and beauty of the infinite God into his hearers’ daily lives. Imagine that: Your best teacher ever could not only explain the intricacies of life and relationships, but do it in a way that made you feel connected to divine purpose and love. And he communicated in layered, sometimes confusing ways, which is a hallmark of the deepest thinkers.

This Is Living Now

People like Jesus make you work for the truth, but it’s worth it. As a spirit person, Jesus helps us unwrap our own spiritual essence, what lies in the deepest part of ourselves. There is so much to explore. 

That’s for next time.

What would you like to learn from Jesus about who you really are? The answer is knowable, just ask it.
