Where’s the line to see Jesus~

I was watching a music video yesterday. And in the video was a boy that asked a lady in a store:  "Where’s the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday,
Why don’t we see Him more?"

As the singer in the music video said: the message was profound. 

I wonder…what if we had people impersonate Jesus, and had ‘them’ in all the stores, waiting to hear about all of his children’s dreams and hopes , wants and desires. Who would the children most likely go to: Santa or Jesus..or would they probably want to go to both Santa and Jesus?  But who would they first line up to see?

Why can’t we have Jesus in all of the stores, waiting for the children to come to him?  I suppose, though, that it would be quite a challenge to find so many people to take on the ‘role’ of Jesus!  Me thinks that we would have to carefully screen the candidates for the job of Jesus.  But what a job that would be! Not to mention that it would probably be great publicty for any stores that would hire Jesus.

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.  Let’s see though, who would be offended by Jesus in a department store…..I don’t think that a person who is playing Jesus could be considered to violate that often cited non-constitutional idea of separation of Church and state. Even if for argument’s sake ‘it’ would violate some imagine constitutional amendment, stores can’t be consider to be part of the state or part of the church. So, I don’t see a problem with the idea of Jesus welcoming all of his childen..be they big kids, older kids, or young kids, at a store.

Editing…the above entry was kind of a subtle protest how our Christian societies has a rather crude way of celebrating Christmas…and how maybe we could find a politically correct way of Jesus meeting a massive amount of people in a public place, and offering them comfort, love, friendship, all the gifts that are spiritual not material.  Santa Claus is a nice story. But it should just be a secondary story. Jesus should be the main story. But sadly, I think that for the most part, Jesus takes a back seat to Santa!
