Today we went to a Christmas concert for the Trans-Siberian
Orchestra. In case you haven't heard of them, they're a rock orchestra and
they're pretty awesome. Anyways, as I was listening to them play a rock version
of a certain song pertaining to Jesus, it made me think about how Jesus himself
would react if he were to show up today. I mean if it were me, and I came
back from elsewhere after centuries stacked upon centuries of being dead to
find that people were rocking out to my birth, I can honestly say I would feel
incredible. And that's just in terms of music.
Watching this concert made me
wonder what he would think about everything else. Now of course, this all
depends on what you believe in etc. but I'm speaking in theoretical terms here.
Seriously though, what would this guy think about the world that we live in
today as opposed to the one that he lived in? Would he be fascinated with
sneakers, having worn sandals all of his life? Wouldn't he be fascinated with
any clothing that wasn't a robe of some kind for that matter? I can picture it
very easily in my head: Jesus Christ, the hipster.
I'm too exhausted to go
deeper into this right now, but it's definitely food for thought.
Happy
Hanukah!
