THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: | |  Marketing Jesus As a marketing strategist, I would go nuts working for Jesus. I mean, if it were cars He was peddling, Id vote for some hot image like the "Jaguar of God" or "The Marvelous Mustang" as marketable slogans. How about "The Hummer?" (Nah, not enough gravitas, but still a good one.) Even "The Eclipse" or "The Escape" arent all that bad because ... well, you get it. Isnt it all about shameless promoting, spin doctoring, grabbing the attention and imagination of the prospects? Or maybe not. Jesus isnt a hot brand-name image that promises a comfortable ride and that lets you glide gracefully over the potholes of life. No, Hes this usually quiet, self-effacing Savior of the World. Wanna hear what He has to say? Just turn down the spin and bravado ... and listen. Enjoy the gentle blessings of this day. Oh, and by the way, I guess I do work for Jesus. Good gig. Great benefits. -- jri "Look, the Lamb of God." -- John the Baptist (John 1:36) | | (The author, John Ingrisano, is a parishioner at The Church of Christ the King and Holy Nativity)
