Sermon: iamwhoiam
George J. Saylor
March 9, 2008
Last week I made a bet with my wife that if I called Jesus the "Che Guevara of Israel," folks would catch the reference. I lost. But you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about when you see the pictures:
Now it all makes sense doesn’t it!
The point is that we don’t have to look too deeply into culture to see that this man named Jesus who lived 2000 years ago transformed our world and continues to transform lives. There are as many vantage points on Jesus as their are people in the world. People have turned him into just about anything they want.
Walk through the mall and you’ll find this shirt.
Walk into a library and you’ll find countless books.
Glance over a magazine rack and you’ll find him on a cover.
Walk into a video store and you’ll find everything from Mel Gibson’s “The Passion,” to “Jesus of Montreal,” and even “Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter,” a proudly made Canadian film! (You just know that some group of students are going to rent that movie tonight!)
