That is our guide for handling life and those in it?

My question:  WTWJD?

What Tattoo Would Jesus Do?

Don’t get your panties in a twist before you read the following points made by a local Pastor?  Thanks to my friend for asking him on my behalf.

“Answer #1--As an orthodox Hebrew, Jesus wouldn't have had a tattoo as Leviticus 19:28 frowned on that sort of thing back then.

Answer #2--In the highly apocalyptic (read: symbolic) book of Revelation 19:16, it's been suggested that Jesus is wearing a tattoo on his right thigh; check it out. 

Answer #3--If Jesus had a tattoo, it may have looked something like the crest on Superman's uniform, which is Kryptonian for HOPE.  (I am not making this up!)

Answer #4 (my preference)--If Jesus had a tattoo, I think it would simply read John 6:38.”

So play along.  WTWJD?

My youngest suggested the chalice, the body and light surrounding it.  Both of my other two suggested a crucifix.  Thomas suggested the peace sign because Jesus is the Prince of Peace.  I suggested a circle with the number 3 inside.

I asked the same question to a friend’s daughter and she said that Jesus wouldn’t have a tattoo because only weirdos get tattoos.  I then pointed out that for his time Jesus was considered quite the whack-a-doodle.  He did and said things that others would never do.  The majority of people did consider him a weirdo and out of his mind even his own family.  Mark 3:21.  Good things come from nutballs, Jesus is living proof.

Soooo, what tattoo do you think Jesus would do?

I have been getting a lot of play behind the scenes about the “Jesus Tattoo” post below.  It has offended some people and many have told me they actually stopped reading when they saw the words “Jesus and Tattoo” together.  If that is the case then you missed the point of my entire post.  I will bullet point for you:

1.     This is not a slam on Jesus nor is it meant to be sacrilegious.

2.     Most people use tattoos to chronicle stories of their lives.  Things that are IMPORTANT to them.  Things they do not want to forget.

3.     My question was, “If Jesus had one message he wanted to get out to people and he used the medium of a tattoo to get that message across, what would it be?”

4.     If the word “tattoo” is offensive then replace with the word with “shirt”.

5.     If you read to the bottom of my post I referred to Jesus as “crazy”, which is a direct quote from the BIBLE.  I also said, “Good things come from nutballs, Jesus is living proof”.  Which is symbolism for different can be good.  Jesus was different and HE is ALL THINGS GOOD.

6.     And finally, if you believe in Revelations, but don’t have time to check out Revelation 19:16, here it is: “He has a name written on his cloak and on his thigh, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”^m  This information was provided from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.  Sounds like a tattoo to me.

The point of the post was, “IF JESUS COULD SHOW US ONE THING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?”
