“I wrote this little story in light of recent happenings in our society.”TITLE: If Jesus Were A Child In A Modern World. My name is Jesus, and I live in a modern world. I am no longer allowed to attend school.
My teacher is no longer allowed to speak my name.
Since they don"t know what to call me, they said I must stay out.
I looked through the window one day and saw a student with rings in his nose and strange looking hair, but they said I must stay out. I have a birthday every year, but now I cannot attend.
Instead, they invite a man who gives presents to all the kids, though its not even their birthday.
When a friend asked me what I got for my birthday, I was ashamed to say that I wasn"t even allowed to go to my own party. My father wrote a famous book. I went to the library to check it out but it wasn"t there. I saw a book about how to make a bomb, but my fathers book was not there. My father also wrote a book for Moses. I went to the courthouse to see this book of commandments, but they said it wasn"t available for public view. They said I would have to take my case to a court of supreme people.
The court refused to here my case. They said they had to separate themselves from me. On my way into town I walked by a lawyers house that is on a hill, he was building a big wooden cross in his front yard. I wonder what he"s going to do with that thing. I like to make things out of wood too, since I"m learning to become a carpenter. I think I will build a rocking chair to relax in when I grow old. I can"t think of any reason why I wouldn"t grow old. Not while living in a modern world.
