I'm glad Jesus did things his way, and not mine. If I'd been in charge of bringing salvation to the world, we'd all be in deep trouble.
But there are things that utterly confuse me about what Jesus did. Why did he pick fishermen? Why not make the parables easier to understand? Why a cross of all places? In fact, why die at all? You are, after all, God.
So, why did he do it the way that he did?
By re-telling a few of the Gospel stories as if I (a firefighter) had been Jesus, and then having JR (a pastor) explain why Jesus did things his way, hopefully we can shed some light on what Jesus' mission was all about, and the decisions he made.
God has an amazing sense of humour, and hopefully he won't mind us exploring how ridiculous, how unbiblical, how utterly fruitless and how hilariously inept the Gospels would have become, if I was Jesus.
