Sweaty, passionate, couch-surfer...Jesus.

Photo-opp Easter-fans are no better than those who said: "Hey, Jesus, let's just forget that 3 days ago I denied I knew you & kept my trap shut even though I saw you do some crazy-ass s%&*. Cause hey, it appears you really are who you said you were!" FACT: Jesus' BFF's were hiding trying to think of a Plan B to save their asses. While Mary M (the town 'pro') was sitting outside His tomb waiting for Him.

Sorry, would just love to hear someone preach the WHOLE story...How crazy is a Love that can be hated, rejected, abandoned, back-stabbed, & used...yet still refuse to call the Powers of Heaven to his aid, & willingly lay down his life, experience ultimate physical/emotional/mental pain & the absence of God (insane) to pay a debt for those who were at the moment INCREDIBLY unappreciative.Once mobbed by adoring crowds & 12 'committed' friends...at the cross, He could probably count on both hands those who remained. So THAT is crazy perspective, crazy passion, crazy purpose, crazy selflessness, & unbeatable crazy LOVE.

So in my opinion, Jesus isn't the nicely groomed soft-spoken guy. He is sweaty, exhausted, emotional, sleep-deprived, passionate, stubborn, homeless, penniless LOVER who sought justice, extended grace/hope and although frequently heartbroken for those who refused to truly LIVE, he was still able to create beauty from broken moments & rejoice over the 1 as if they alone were enough to make the journey for.
