by Mark D. Stucky

What if Jesus joined
social media sites?
Would he ask people
to Friend and Follow him?
Would they then tweet,
“Oh, how I Like Jesus”?
Would some Unfollow him
if he loved the marginalized
(as he did in the Gospels)?
Would he chastise churches
for lacking love and wisdom
(as he did in Revelation)?
Would he ever post,
“Dad, bless America”?
Would we be uneasy asking,
“What would Jesus tweet?”
