Hello, Jesus Now, when I thought about doing this interview, my first concern was where on earth would I find you and turns out you found me. I mean, it seems that you are all over the place.

Well, James, I am happy that you sought me out. I tend to be very busy, especially around your Christian Holidays. You have so many of them.

You mean they’re not yours? Christ – Christian. They were respectfully named for you.

James, while I appreciate the sentiment behind the name, I would never have wanted these holidays celebrated in my name. Especially that one you all call Easter. I mean for God’s sake! It’s okay if I say that, right?

Jesus laughs.
Of course, he is your Father, right! If anyone has the right to say it, it should be you. Please go on.

“Well, the Easter holiday you “Christians” celebrate was no celebration for me. I was hung on a cross butchered as it were, and I tell you it is no pleasure having that thrown up in my face all the time. That killed me. Of course, I came back but still that hurt like hell. Something I do not like reliving. So for those of you out there listening, the crosses I see all over the world not fun to see. Reminders of the horrible pain and suffering I had to go through.”

So this displeases you?

Yes, Let’s say that I’ve moved on from that, closure is what you all call it.

Well, Jesus, can you tell me and our listening audience what you have been up to since, well since you departed the earth. I mean, you haven’t been physically seen since well in hundreds of thousands of years.

OMG – Jesus smiles – “didn’t know that I was familiar with your – Net-centric abbreviation for the popular exclamation “Oh my God!” I think it’s essential to keep up. So you might say that’s what I have been doing all this time. Keeping up with the world just fighting the good fight as it were.

Jesus, that’s a bit vague; can you be a little more forthcoming, please?

James, I feel like if I say too much, I will have all these expectations put on me, and while I do have power over the earth land and sea as it were by telling you I kind of show my hand and I like to surprise.

(Jesus laughs)

Why are you laughing?

Well, I find it funny that you humans enjoy a pleasant surprise at least that’s what I hear and see, of course, but you can’t seem to wait for things when you pray. You have no idea how many requests I get in a second, and it’s usually the same people asking for the same things over and over again. It’s a wonder I’m not schizophrenic.

Okay, then moving on, I am going to ask you a series of questions about what’s going on, and I expect you to be brutally honest as possible.

Of course, I only know how to speak the truth; after all, I am the arbiter of truth, love, and honesty, so please go right ahead.

What do you have to say about the current White House situation?

That has nothing to do with me. My Father and I tend to stay out of your politics. Let me say this though in all your Presidential elections since 1778, have there been so many prayer requests.

Were they for or against him?

Him?

Well, you know Trump.

I don’t wish to choose sides, but just let me say that you all should have known better.

Jesus, what do you mean?

James comes on the man tweets for goodness sake; he’s a well-known megalomaniac.

So you don’t care for him either?

Well, I am Jesus, so I forgive and am understanding, but I have to take one of your human adages: If you don’t have anything good to say about someone, don’t say anything at all!

Well, Jesus, what can we do to make things better in the White House under this current regime? I mean, can you at least tell us what direction we need to go into does praying help?

Prayer is always good. We are still listening, but it’s you who must do. You have stopped Doing. You have become a nation of talkers, pundits, influencers, and such. Take a page from your 1960’s history. That was a good time for you, humans. You had sit-ins, revolts, You not only talked but you acted and changed happened. I enjoyed watching human growth during that period.

You liked that, did you?

Absolutely you broke down barriers; you used the strength that Father gave you to move mountains. You like that. Thought that I would take you back to the days of old. Those were some excellent times in human history too. You have come along way, but in this century, you remain to stagnate STOP talking and DO people.

Wow, advise from Jesus.

“Jesus nods, and smile’s almost chuckling.”

Ask me anything I’m pretty much an open book.
Speaking of books. Let’s talk about the Bible.

“Jesus stood up!”

Dear God! I’m going to need a short break before we get into that.

Okay – whatever you say!
