John has tagged me in a "5 things I dig about Jesus" meme. The idea is as follows;
(1) share 5 things you "dig" about Jesus,
(2) Tag 5 new people,
(3) Those tagged should say that they've posted their five by leaving a comment to this post and to John's original post saying who tagged you.
So here are my five things;
1. Jesus had compassion for the ordinary people - it never stayed as just a sentiment but always resulted in practical positive action.
2. Jesus was not drawn to the popular or the easy, he when to the unpopular
3. He used the simple everyday things of life to subvert the status quo (see )
4. cause he promises to give rest to the weary
5. that in a world full of trouble and uncertainty He is with us and speaks his peace into our troubled times
Now I tag,
Great list. Thanks for doing this.

Paul - in the words of that great theologian Bob the Builder, "yes you can!"

Art - thanks for the comment. What i find very challenging about this kind of thing is that while I want to shout 'that's my Jesus' I also have to ask 'and how closely am I following him, how like him am I?'

Well hello Brodie,
Just to let you know I have completed meme listing five things about Jesus that need to be said - or at least that I would want included in any conversation about why Jesus is the One whose Way is for me the Way to go.Thanks for asking - hope we can meet up one of these days. Shalom, Jim
