I think a lot of people would be completely shocked if they met Jesus. Even if they wouldn’t admit it, deep down, I bet most folks probably think Jesus would be the lamest person ever to hang out with. You see, lots of people get their mental image of Jesus from movies that shouldn’t have been made and Sunday School lessons that shouldn’t have been taught or else religious people who need to stop pretending to be religious. Some people still see Jesus as a figure in a stained-glass window or as a statue carved out of marble. For most folks, the idea of God on earth is so inconceivable that they just think He would be as boring and easily offended as the most stilted and dry church person they knew as a kid, but that’s not who Jesus was! Jesus was electric! He was magnetic! Everywhere He went, huge crowds followed Him! Little kids flocked to Him and people who went to listen to Him speak were literally so captivated by Him that they would forget to eat food! He was the life of the party. In fact, the reason He came was to throw a party! Jesus came into this world talking about an everlasting party! It will be the greatest party ever! It will be a party filled with gladness, true life, friends, food, music and dancing where you can be you - as in, the ‘you’ that you’ve always wanted to be but have never had the courage to be! The crazy thing is that not everybody wants to go. Some folks will make excuses and miss it. What about you? The invitation is there. It has your name on it. Will you be there?
