Jesus of the Week
When I was a teen I subscribed to Contemporary Christian Music magazine. CCM for short. I'll never forget seeing an advertisement in the back of the magazine for a "print" called Jesus The Surfer. You could actually purchase one by sending "x" amount of dollars to "someone" and they would send you your very own Jesus The Surfer picture - right to your door!
I'm sad to report to you today that I found him again. At Jesus of the Week.
I also found Kanye pretending to be Jesus.
"It has become a cliche to call Kanye West arrogant. Whether discussing his music or his style of dress, his intellect or his production prowess, he has absolutely no qualms about patting himself on the back." "If you're going to believe all the stuff about positive thinking and self-actualization, that we affect our environment by the way we think about ourselves, do you want a better example than Kanye West?"
[Rolling Stone]
Well, maybe.
But this isn't about Kanye. Or Jesus The Surfer. This is about Jesus, the Christ.
When Jesus arrived in the villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "What are people saying about who the Son of Man is?"And what about you. Who do you say that He is?
They replied, "Some think he is John the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some Jeremiah or one of the other prophets."
He pressed them, "And how about you? Who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter said, "You're the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

He is unfailing love, sweet kindmess, unabashed joy. He is gentle and peaceful and all that is good. With patience and longsuffering He has pursued my heart and won it.
Psalm 36:7
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
