On Zombies, Vampires and Wondering Why Jesus Christ is Neither

Here at Welcome to My Truth there is often talk of superstars. However, there is one superstar in particular who has not gotten the attention he deserves. And being the biggest superstar of them all, he deserves quite a bit of attention. Quite frankly, without him there would be no other superstars to speak of.

I’m talking, of course, about Jesus Christ.

There is much that can be said about the man who was the son of God. Millions upon millions have ruminated on the significance of the man who could walk on water and cure the sick. And as I am preparing for my last big shindig in Portland, I could certainly use his advice on turning water into wine.

However, I don’t know that much has been said about the fact that Jesus Christ is one creepy dude.

Just stop and think about it for a second. The man was killed. He was nailed to a tree and left for dead. A few painful hours later he breathed his last breath and was buried. Everything was kosher, if not a little depressing.

Then he came back to life.

That’s right. The guy was killed and then came back to life. And do we all fear him and run in the other direction? Nope. We venerate him and make him the biggest superstar in the history of the world.

What’s up with that?

Last time I checked, people who come back from the dead are not people you want to mess with. Ever heard of zombies? Ever seen a vampire movie? People who come back from the dead want to either suck your blood or eat your brain. And either way, the outcome is not a good thing.

So what’s the deal with Jesus? How come he can come back from the dead and still be considered cool enough to base a world religion on his teachings? How come he didn’t want to eat Mary Magdalene’s brain? How come all those Israelites didn’t run in fear the way everyone did in Night of the Living Dead?

I guess it’s just one more of the perks of having God as your dad.
