Hijacking Jesus
Hijacking Jesus
By Hymn Forsloff
Want a job, get out of jail free, become part of the “in” group, have a platform for politics, be able to say one thing and do another, and cover up corruption? All you need to do is use the name of Jesus and you can get away with nearly anything. You can buy power, become vital and admired and manipulate people, events and information. You can plant Jesus’ name on a billboard someplace or on a tee shirt like so much media advertising, so that no one will know you have him or not. You can defense whatever you do, have done, or will do by just using his name enough. Hijacking Jesus in all of these ways, but, sullies his name and defames his experience of like and simplicity. It has produced deep divisions among individuals, religious groups, political parties, social organizations and nations. Those divisions are no more evident than they are now. It comes down to this: is Jesus a loving influence or an influence for selfish, personal power?
