Twittering Jesus 4

We continue where we left off, pretending to be Jesus twittering to his tweets 140 characters at a time. So far we have made it through his first fifteen messages. Today we'll pick up at 16 - 20, but, for context, let me also remind you of my last twitter, Twitter 15, last time:

15. Definition of Expert: An “expert” is anybody who comes from more than 50 miles from your hometown. My people in my hometown of Nazareth reject me. I understand, though. They know me too well. Who am I? What can I possibly know? I’d reject me, too.

16. 50 Miles Away: Away from Nazareth, my reputation is spreading. Reports say I can walk on water, feed the multitudes with five loaves of bread and two fish, still the seas, and so on. I can neither confirm nor deny these reports. Keep the faith, baby!

17. Practicing What I Preach: Build your house on a solid foundation. That’s what I told you to do. Now it’s my turn. After I’m gone, my house – my tweets – need a firm foundation. I choose Peter as my rock. Upon this rock I shall build my church.

18. “Get Behind Me, Satan.” Life is fickle. One minute I single Peter out as my rock, and the next he rebukes me. So that’s what I said to him. Maybe I over did it a bit. Even rocks – human rocks – are just that. Human.

19. Feeling Woozey: I went up this mountain today with Peter, James, and John. At the top, I felt weak; my head started to spin, and I thought I spotted Moses and Elijah. But they tell me it was only me and that for a second I had turned ghostly white. Probably the altitude.

20. Greatness: They asked me who is the greatest in the Kingdom of God. I told them the children. Humble, non-judgmental, trusting, caring, forgiving, loving children. Unless you become like them, forget about it.
