Paying Ridiculous Attention To Jesus预览

It's easy to picture Jesus with a somber face, marked by a serious intensity during his ministry. But there are many accounts of him attending parties. In fact, his first miracle was performed at a party, and he often participated in the traditional Jewish festivals and celebratory gatherings. Jesus loved celebrations and enjoyed himself so much that at one point the religious rule-keepers accused him of gluttony and drunkenness.

Take a minute to picture Jesus at one of these parties. Imagine him smiling and laughing and telling jokes. How does this change or expand your view of Jesus?

During one of your prayer times this week, try telling Jesus a funny story or anecdote from your day. See what it feels like to share a joyful moment with him, and pay attention to his reaction.
