Jesus Pictures, #2

So here are my thoughts...

Picture 1

I wonder if we choose industry over what Jesus stood for? Do we choose progress over depth? Wealth over authenticity? Proficiency over love?

I wonder how the story of Jesus would play out if he were born into the western world today, not 2,000 years ago.

Picture 2

Does this picture go to far? Does it make Jesus too friendly? Or maybe, is it something this world is desperately looking for? A Jesus they can relate too... A non-judgmental Jesus?

I have to say I prefer to spell Jesus, G-sus.

Picture 3

When I see this picture I remember Jesus' words to Peter, "those who live by the sword, will die by the sword." I wonder, do we in the western world make Jesus out to be about war? Does he figuratively has his hands on a gun, trying to straighten out Christianity or the world? Ready to fire at any time?

Is he a Jesus cowboy (sorry Texas), someone who ain't gonna let himself be a pushover?

Or is this Jesus holding the gun that he took from his disciples. Urging them to give up violence. To be peacemakers.

Or maybe he removed the bullets...
