The desire to explore Jesus’ experience finds expression in a mid-nineteenth century work called Jesus and His Story by Ethelbert Stauffer.

By his own admission, Jesus limited his speaking tour to Israel. Using a familiar metaphor, he said, “I have come for the lost sheep of Israel” (John 12). Not a very nice thing to say. The term “lost” was as derogatory then as it is now.

DJP will complete the Th.M. from DTS Saturday next. Our usual Friday morning Coffee / SAYWJ schedule is off kilter the past several weeks partly due to exams and assignments related to completion of that degree.

We are talking today about social networking and SAYWJ / SpendAYearWithJesus. I think one of our challenges is to do a good job of telling the “Spend A Year With Jesus” story. Telling the story well seems crucial to finding people who understand and want the experience. We are currently using Twitter (#ayearwithjesus) and a Facebook “Like” page (Spend A Year With Jesus). When you find us on FB, please “Like” us.
