Vintage Jesus




I was thinking this morning while I sipped my coffee and munched on my Honey Bunches of Oats (Mmm those Honey Bunches). Don't be surprised, I do try to think every now and then. Here is what I was thinking about: Jesus is, without question is THE defining person in the history of the world, and he accomplished that feat before electricity was even discovered.




I know, you are probably saying to yourself, " Matt, you are a genius! How long did it take you to realize that Jesus didn't have an outlet to plug his blender into?" Give me a second though because that is not exactly what I am saying.




Imagine a man who never went to far from his home (Give or take a hundred miles), never wrote a book (Others wrote about him though), never held public office, and his only actual paying job was as a handyman. If you had to guess from my description, you would think that I was describing the guy who works in appliances at Home Depot. That, however is not the guy I am talking about.




Jesus changed the world with nothing else besides His actions, and His dedication to His Father God. Jesus did not need a video podcast to get his message out, he didn't even need a microphone so he could be heard. Jesus did big things in little everyday ways. Without electricity, internet, cell phones, satellite TV, Jesus changed the world. He didn't even have a campaign manager or a speech writer either.
