WOULD JESUS WEAR JEANS?


It's a good question.

Now, hold on…

I don't mean this question to be facetious, flippant, disrespectful, or sacrilegious.

I want it to spur us on to some serious thought.


When my sons were young, they asked me questions about Jesus all the time.

Did He get tired and hungry?

Did He get sick?

Did He get blisters?

Did He ever have a headache?

Did He ever trip and fall?

On and on the questions went.  

At first, I was tempted to think that they were being impertinent.  But then I realized that they were very sincere, and that what they were really asking was this:

"Is Jesus like me?"

All these questions gave me a wonderful opportunity to tell my boys that yes, indeed, Jesus was just like us – except with no sin.


Sometimes I think about what it would be like if Jesus walked the earth today.  

I like thinking about that...

What would He look like and wear?

Where would He go, and who would He talk to?

What would make Him angry, and what would break His heart?

And who would rise up against Him?

It's interesting to me to contemplate these things.

And based on what we read about Him in the Bible, I think we can make some educated guesses to answer those questions.


What would He look like and wear?

I don't think that Jesus would look like a movie star or fashion model.

I don't think He'd be dressed in designer suits, stylish sunglasses, or fancy shoes. 

I don't think He'd be driving a Ferrari. 

Jesus was humble and simple.

Isaiah described Jesus as looking like an ordinary man, and that there was nothing special in His appearance that would make Him stand out.  

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him." (Isaiah 53:2, NIV)

So sure, He might be wearing jeans or cargo pants!

And maybe Birkenstock sandals???


Where would Jesus go?

I think we might be surprised at the answer to that.

I don't think He'd expect to be eating at gourmet restaurants or staying in five-star hotels.

I don't think He'd be seeking center-stage, or hungry for the spotlight.

I don't think He'd worry about crowds flocking to Him, or desire to perform in front of cheering throngs.

I don't think He'd be running for office.

Rather, I have a strong feeling that Jesus would go to places where He could encounter people in an intimate way.

(Maybe He'd find His way to the local Starbuck's, and wait for the opportunity to speak to someone?!)

He would quietly go about the business of His Father, wherever that led Him.

"'For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will.'" (John 6:36, NLT)


Who would He talk to?

Again, I think we might be surprised.

Jesus was always reaching out to the marginalized, the ostracized, the minimalized, the victimizedthe persecuted, the mistreated, the abusedthe weak, frail, and infirm.

When I think about it, I can picture Jesus speaking to those same people today.

I can see Him on Skid Row or working in a soup kitchen.  I can see Him at the feet of a homeless person.

I can see Him in hospitals and hospice care centers – with the sick and dying.

At nursing and assisted living facilities – with the old and forgotten.  

On a college campus – with the seekers and the skeptics.  

In a prison – with the angry and hopeless.  

At a rehab clinic – with the addicted and broken.

I can see Him talking to the people that are so easily vilified by society…(and sometimes by Christians??).

People who persecute us, or whose lifestyles or religious beliefs are different than ours, or who do hateful and ugly things.

Jesus would be found in the company of those who needed Him most.

Even if it was politically incorrect, unacceptable, or scandalous.

"'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.  I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.'" (Mark 2:17, NIV)


What would make Jesus angry?

This is an interesting question to ponder.

Of course, my first inclination is to think that Jesus would be angry about the things that make me angry.

Injustice, hatred, cruelty.

And yes, Jesus would be angered by these things.

But He would also be angered by things He might see in me.

Hypocrisy, self-righteousness, pride.

And Jesus would also be angered by the things He might observe within His church.

By white-washed tombs of impurity, and empty words, and prideful boasting, and false piety, and critical spirits, and unforgiving hearts, and sanctimonious posturing.

By misinterpretation and misrepresentation of God's Word.

By anything and anyone who thwarts the cause of the Gospel.

"Do not cause anyone to stumble…even as I try to please everyone in every way.  For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved." (1 Corinthians 10:32-33, NIV)

Jesus would be angered by the *log-in-the-eye folks* who spend so much time pointing out the *specks* in others.


What would break the heart of Jesus?

I think it's easy to think of some things – disease, affliction, suffering, loss of innocence, and the like.

He would be saddened by the way His beautiful world is broken and filled with sin.

But, I think He would also be saddened by apathy and complacency amongst His beloved followers.

As I write this, it is Palm Sunday, the remembrance of Jesus' triumphal procession into Jerusalem.

But as Jesus approaches the city, we see a most unusual reaction:

"...as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep." (Luke 19:41, NLT)

Why did He cry?

Surely not for His own sake, though He knew He was approaching the crucifixion.  

No, He wept for His own:

"'How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes…because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation.'" (Luke 19:42, 44, NLT)

Jesus was anguished by those who were not saved – and His heart still bleeds for them today.

He is grieved when we who do know Him do not obey Him, when we shirk the responsibility of bringing His Gospel to others.

He is troubled when we remain in our comfort zones.


And finally, who would rise up against Him?

Truth be told, I don't think it would just be the "bad guys."

Because I think Jesus, the Person, would rail against all the artifice of "religion."

He would single-mindedly oppose counterfeit teachers and false doctrine.

He would speak out against idolatry, and all of the myriad ways that it manifests itself – fame, fortune, reputation, beauty, possessions, people.

He would hate everything fake and conceited and pretentious.

Jesus is still the two-edged sword, the One who divides households and nations. 

The One who brings controversy and contention, because He stands for Truth.

He would not win a popularity contest.

"'Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.'" (Matthew 10:34, NIV)

If Jesus walked the earth today, would He still be crucified?

Sadly, my friends, I believe He would.

Because Jesus would not remain quiet.

And the world would want to silence Him.

For the heart of mankind is still proud, selfish, stubborn, and cruel.


Next Sunday is Easter.

The day when we celebrate the greatest day on earth.

The day when Jesus rose from the grave, paying our sin debt, and conquering death.

But just 40 short days later, He returned to heaven, sending the Holy Spirit to dwell within us.

So, in every real and mysterious and overwhelming way, He now walks the earth in us.

Therefore, we must go where He would go, talk to who He would talk to, be angry at what would make Him angry, and let our hearts be broken by what would break His.

We must be courageous and brave, determined and resolute, when others rise up against us.

We must open ourselves to His work in our lives, and seek to obey His calling.

We must venture out of our comfort zones.

We must represent Him well.


Would Jesus wear jeans?

Maybe.

But let me just say this – 

Truthfully, He's wearing what YOU put on this morning…

Now go and be His hands and feet!!



How can you *wear* Jesus this week?





I'll be Your hands
I'll be Your feet
I'll go
where You send me
And I'll try
to touch the world
like You
touched my life.



(From the lyrics to "Hands and Feet" - songwriters:
Tyler Burkum, Bob Herdman, Charlie Peacock,
William McGinniss, Mark Stuart) 



"This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin." (Hebrews 4:15, NLT)

"For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering." (Romans 8:13, NIV)

"Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God.  Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people." (Hebrews 2:17, NLT)

"Because God's children are human beings – made of flesh and blood – the Son also became flesh and blood.  For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death." (Hebrews 2:14, NLT)

"All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation…entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." 
(2 Corinthians 5:18-20, ESV)

"As God's partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God's kindness and then ignore it." (2 Corinthians 6:1, NLT)

"'You are the salt of the earth.  But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again?  It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.  You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket.  Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.'" (Matthew 5:13-16, NLT)

"'…you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.  And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere – to the ends of the earth.'" (Acts 1:8, NLT)

"…in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you…" 
(1 Peter 3:15, ESV)

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19, NLT)

"Sing to the LORD; praise his name.  Each day proclaim the good news that he saves." (Psalm 96:2, NLT)

"I will tell everyone about your righteousness.  All day long I will proclaim your saving power…" (Psalm 71:15, NLT)



HAPPY EASTER!  


HE IS RISEN!  HE IS RISEN INDEED!!

  1. I love the last line to go out and be his hands and feet. I think Jesus always strived to reach out to the least, the last, the lonely, etc. He went against what was popular to do at the time and he didn't mind so much letting people know when they were being hypocritical. Especially with the Pharisees. I bet he would wear jeans and I bet he also would dress up formally if the occasion called for it and it was something in his plan and purpose to further his Father's kingdom!

    Happy Easter!

  2. absolutely He would wear jeans. I love your post and I usually do. I love your sense of humor, but also the depth of your spiritual points. I know, it matters not what Jesus would or would not wear, what matters most is that Jesus cared for the people right in front of them and we should do likewise, being His hands and feet to a world that needs Him. Blessings and thanks for sharing today at #LifeGivingLinkup

  3. I keep trying to figure out in today's world, how the Sermon on the Mount would have been presented - and I so hope it wouldn't have been on t.v. because Jesus came for real intimacy, real connection - and I'm not sure t.v. does that! What food for thought you've given us. I think I ask some of these questions at dinner tonight!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Amen, Sharon! We must all be Jesus' hands and feet in this world no matter what we are wearing, where we live, where we work, where we worship. You have certainly given us much food for thought as we try, with you, to picture Jesus living in the here and now instead of 2000 years ago. You've reminded me of the fad phrase from the 1990s - What Would Jesus Do? If we are honest, we should be asking ourselves that question every day.
    Blessings!

  5. Howdy There!

    This post is WAY more than I anticipated. I thought I was clicking over (from Monday of Many Blessings) to a funny and carefree blog post. I mean, would Jesus wear Jeans? That's seems pretty amusing. Instead, I found a very deep and insightful post on life in Christ and oh, so much more. This is really deep, and I'm almost sorry that others may miss out on how insightful this post is because of it's title. (Unless they are so intrigued by the title that they click over like I did.) :o)

    This post certainly gives me much food for thought.

    Have a blessed Easter week and Resurrection Day!

  6. I absolutely believe all of this is true...and I know for a fact that He is present in the rehab facilities with the broken and addicted...since you mentioned it. He's been there every day healing and teaching my boy! So much truth in this wonderful post, my friend! Have a most blessed holy week and Resurrection Sunday!

  8. I love the last part, "He's wearing whatever you put on today." I've always imagined Jesus would be a lot like me. I never got into the formalities of religion and felt like it kept us away from the life that Jesus lived.

  9. Well said and biblical. I do think, though, that he might go to a 5-star restaurant--if it gave him the chance to share his faith with the proprietors, patrons, waiters, and waitresses. He didn't limit his ministry to the poor, although they were most often the ones who received his Word gladly. He was no respecter of persons.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes, He wears what we put on today. I loved this post and the questions your children asked. Yes is Jesus like me - in many ways yes he is. I can picture Jesus in Jeans and cowboy boots, and yes he would be welcome at our church where the homeless come early for coffee and a treat. Thank you for sharing with us here at Tell me a True Story.

  11. Powerful post and the ending makes quite an impact. I'm totally thinking Jesus would be in the garb of most.....jeans! But He's wearing what you put on today? So so true. God bless...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh, Sharon! I am in tears! I SO want to be like Him! OH, dear, precious Lord, I want to be like You and do and be the disciple You want me to be! This post was truly a blessing to me tonight and compelled me to fall at His feet once again.

  15. Joy to you, friend, I shout with much gratitude, wearing my jeans today. Hoping I am in some way recognizable as my Lord's daughter. Great post with much to chew on this week. We're in recovery mode after hubby's hernia surgery--still fighting the panic attacks. Hard to see what's in front of us for the foggy head. And--the second Fable Springs Parables coming out in two weeks. But, your post helps me to see beyond our confining walls in an overwhelming season, to the Lord's perspective. I feel Him weeping over the headlines this morning about Belgium. So heavy of heart. It is our Jesus weeping as He enters Jerusalem--and they would not have Him. Sober thoughts, indeed.
    Joy to you!

  16. Now you've got me wondering, Sharon: would Jesus be a blogger? :) Well, actually I know the answer to that--he already is! I see him through you and so many other devoted followers of his out here. Thanks for sharing these questions. I agree with you that this is the root of what we want to know: "What they were really asking was this:
    "Is Jesus like me?""

    ReplyDelete
  17. Sharon, what a great reflection!! I think you are right in your questions and suggestions for His answers. I so agree with what Lisa just shared. The question for each of us is to ask if we are truly like Him and then to remember what you reminded us of what He was like. Thanks for this. Happy to be your neighbor today at the Linkup at Testimony Tuesday with Holly Barrett.

  18. Great reflections and questions to ponder Sharon. Glad to be neighbors on the #RaRaLinkup. :-)

  19. AMEN!!! This past Sunday we watched the live recording of The Passion in New Orleans. When they got to the song in which Judas betrayed Jesus and the police hauled Jesus away, my boys were stunned. Because it was set in modern day, they got it...we all were stunned by the impact it made on all of us. The song was also "Demons", a secular song which nailed the scene. I am with you....sometimes we need to think about how He would be today and yes, He would bring division. Great post!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love this post. I honestly never thought about what Jesus would "wear" or where He would "go."Thanks for making me think and blessings on your writing!

  21. I would like to think that he would be wearing jeans and Birkenstock sandals. When you asked "Who would he talk to" I immediately thought it would be the homeless people on the streets. GREAT POST!
    Happy Easter to you and your family.

  22. Very thought-provoking! I loved your line: "Truthfully, He's wearing what YOU put on this morning…" I think we tend to forget that!

    Thanks for sharing at the Loft today.

  23. This is a great way to get our hearts Easter ready. His ultimate mission to love us, die for us and rise again allowed Him to get really dirty - where the imperfect live-- and yet not be tainted by any of it. That's some kind of supernatural strength and pure example for us to go and do likewise. Happy Easter!

    ReplyDelete
  24. "He's wearing what you put on this morning..." Bam!!!!!

    I'm with you on how our Savior would respond in this world, it's not so different from that one two thousand years ago; we're fallen and still in need of Him.

    He would despise the same things He did before... including our legalism...

    We're are His feet and hands and heart. "Truly I tell you that for what you have done for the least of these you have done to Me..."

    Gulp... good one.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Sharon, welcome to The Loft. So glad you linked up with us this week. Your post is certainly a lovely addition to our prompt this week. I think you are right. Jesus would be about the business the Father sent Him to do, and it might surprise us where He would go and with whom he would speak.

  26. "Jesus would be found in the company of those who needed Him most." Truly, this is one of the best posts I have read in forever and a day! You nailed it, friend, so well and hit me between the eyes in many ways. Jesus is wearing a khaki skirt and flowered top today, and His hair is a mess, lol, I had better go get busy. ♥

  28. Wow Sharon! What a thought provoking and sincere post! I love that we "put on" Christ every day. I want to be the best representation of Him I can be. Not in my own strength but in His.

  30. Found you on the bloggers spotlight linkup! I love this post. Great timing with Easter right around the corner. I think you're dead on. Jesus would be casual. He would hang out in the casual places, with the prostitutes and drunks and the "riff raff", like he did in his day. And as for what would make him angry in today's world? I think there's a LOT that would make him angry!

    ReplyDelete
  31. My thoughts would be Jesus would be laid back and relaxed. That is my picture of Him. I can feel him taking me by my hand and saying, "Michelle, rest in thee, I am all you need, no more fretting." Yup, that is my vision of Him. Happy Easter to you.

  34. So much here to ponder. That passage of Jesus weeping has always moved me deeply: weeping for the blinded world. I've been reflecting a lot on that lately and how it reflects His great compassion for this world and our calling to enter that world in loving kindness, with hearts moved by their plight. Only clothed in His Love can we truly do this, moving in the power of His Spirit.

    My youngest (3) also asks lots of questions. Like how can Jesus be in people's hearts? Why can't we see Him? Can't we go to heaven now to be with Grandma and Jesus?

    Have a blessed Easter!

  36. Oh yeah Sharon ... I can see Him now! Jesus in Jeans!!! Love your descriptive way... but actually He can be seen anywhere (wear) He wants if we are wearing Jesus properly and BEing those hands and feet. Check out them boots and jeans!!! Woo hoo!

    {my apologies Sharon. I had to go through all of the comments looking for mine when I realized that though I was here and read on Mon., I never left a comment. And I was so sure I had because I remembered each of your "grateful" thoughts. But lo and behold, not a peep from me. Senior moment, I guess ... oh maybe I was on that Smart TV and decided to wait until I got on my computer. So sorry, sis. Better late than never.} I came today to make sure I had wished you and yours a blessed and joyous Resurrection SONday! (so I sent an email just in case and so glad I did since I wrote "nada" here until now) ... not too good hands or feet or mind, I guess. Yet my heart meant well.

    How can I wear Jesus this week? (definitely not in a swimsuit on the heavily populated beaches and streets of this vacation place) Evangelism is BIG importance this week esp. for YWAM. I'm just praying and hoping not to wear Jesus out this week whatever I find to wear that we cease from BEing weary bringing in the sheep. There are so many still and little less time every day.
    Pray for souls coming to know Jesus in Mexico for such a time as this (2 weeks)! Pour it on Lord. Shine on us!

    Love you Sharon (((hugs)))
