“Change for the Better?”
“Let
me get this straight, you want to preach the word of God to …”
The
young man interrupted with, “Yes, it’s my purpose in life.”
“Right. You don’t run a megachurch, do you?”
“No.”
“Have
a cable show?”
“No.”
“Radio
show?”
“No.”
“Website?”
“No.”
“How
did you plan to reach people with your message?”
The
young man smiled. “I will walk among
them.”
“Listen,
I understand. What you want to do is
noble and all, but if you want to be part of the big leagues, you’ll have to put
aside such rank amateur ideas.”
The
young man frowned. After a few moments
he nodded. “I understand.”
“Great. Let’s start you off with something simple, an
Instagram page. Now, what was your name
again?”
“Jesus.”

I
first wrote this story back in 2009 and posted it on a website that is still up
but the formatting is messed up. So I figured
I should repost it. The point of the
story is simple: if Jesus came back today, would he open a megachurch or would
he slip on a pair of sandals and go among the people?
