Would Jesus Have Social Media?

My instinctive answer is no. Of course not.

It’s hard to picture someone who lived 2,000 years ago doing really anything that involves 21st-century technology, but on top of this, there’s just so much evil on social media and the internet that it’s hard to associate Jesus with that.

However, Jesus often hung around with people who many people wouldn’t have expected the son of God to hang out with.

Would he use social media as a platform to get his message out? Would he post pictures daily on what he was doing? Documenting his ministry?

Really an unimportant question since when it all gets boiled down, he didn’t come in the 21st century. He came when he did for a reason.

It’s fun though to really think about the “what would Jesus do” question. Would he have social media? Would he fly to other nations? Would he do televised broadcasts?

The next question is, if Jesus did use social media, what would he use it for and is that what you’re using it for? If there is eternal value in social media, what is that value? Is it to be an influencer? To be a thought leader on a subject? To make people laugh with memes?

As you go and scroll through each of your social medias, take 2 seconds and think about “is this what Jesus would do?”

There’s a lot of junk on social media and the internet, but with so many drug dealers of bad content on the internet, seek to be a drug dealer of good content.

Be a good drug dealer.

That’s my advice.
