Tweetin' Jesus


High School Jesus and his trusty Uke
Imagine a modern, teenage Jesus. I picture him with a scraggly half-grown beard and Birks (maybe Toms, but I think he would dig the open toe thing better). 

Would he be that kid doesn't say much, but when he does, its really deep? A "WOAH, Dude, my mind has just been blown" type kid. 

Or would he be a natural leader, president of the student body? Someone who everyone respects his opinion, but doesn't blindly follow?

Would Jesus hang out with "them" - the cool kids - or would he fit in better with the nerds? Maybe he is someone that would cross over and be part of every group in school.

One thing we agreed upon is that Jesus would join a ton of extra-curricular clubs. Everything from Beta to the Feminist club. Despite Mary's constant requests for Jesus to be a better student, we see him paying more attention to changing the world than his algebra homework.

What would be the best thing about a high school Jesus? His twitter account, of course. He would be an automatic follow. We imagined what the hashtags would be for today's Gospel reading Matthew 5:13-20.

Here are a couple:

#saltless,  #lartern, #can'thidethehill #lightupthehouse, #gonnaletitshine, #bushel_no!, #lampstand, #don'tbeahippo, #NOH8, #fulfill, #prophetluv, #powerup, #LOVE

Take a read yourself and let us know if you would add some new hashtags in the comments section below.
