I was thinking about what would happen if Jesus
had been on the Titanic when everyone was
evacuating and they were only letting women
and children onto the lifeboats. Do you think he
would try to shove his way onto a lifeboat the
way some of his disciples try to shove their
religious views on everyone? I hope he
wouldn’t do that because that would mean some
woman or child would have to die in his place.
On the other hand, maybe he feels that he’s
already died once for everyone and he doesn’t
want to have to go through all that martyrdom
rigmarole all over again. Besides, the image of a
frozen Jesus in a lifejacket floating in the North
Atlantic is not something most people want to
think about.
