Every day I write a daily devotion for attenders and friends of Victoria Community Church. Right now we are currently going through the book of 1 John. This morning's devotion dealt with the vast number of "different Jesuses" we come across in our culture and how to tell the true One from the false ones.
Unfortunately, a lot of the time the church is responsible for creating all sorts of false perceptions about Jesus. We tend to make Him in our image, rather than be remade in His image. Therefore, Jesus becomes everything we might want Him to be at the time (such as "my homeboy." Maybe that's what Thomas meant to say when He cried out, "My Lord and My God?!")
With these things in mind, it is with humor, embarrasment and a certain amount of shame that I introduce you to "Kung Fu Jesus."
