Up All Night- The Growing Prysocks

So I was listening to Tyler Read the other day, and they have a song in which they assert that only rock ‘n roll can save us now. I thought to myself, “What if rock ‘n roll really IS the only thing that can save us now??” Of course I was soon reminded that Jesus is really the only one that could ever save us. “But wait!” I thought. “What if Jesus is actually a rock star?” If so, then it is in fact true that only rock ‘n roll, through Jesus, can save us now. And so in order to form a theory of Jesus as a rock star, here is a bulleted list:

• Jesus challenged The Man (religious leaders)
• Jesus was counter-cultural (Samaritan woman)
• Jesus worked his way up from the bottom, starting as a carpenter’s son and then became a national phenomenon
• Jesus rebelled against the system (challenging common religious beliefs)
• Jesus was a champion for the “little man” (taxpayers, widows, orphans, sinners in general)
• Jesus destroy property (cleansing of the Temple)
• Jesus rocked large crowds at big outdoor venues (like Woodstock)
• Jesus had roadies (disciples)
• Jesus had groupies (Mary, Martha, various other supportive women)
• Jesus had a good manager/producer (God)
• Jesus drew inspiration from the talent that preceded him (Abraham, Moses, Elijah, the Prophets)
• Jesus’ work was appreciate long after his time, even more so than when he was on earth (kinda like Elvis)
• Jesus had harsh critics (the Pharisees)
• Jesus’ work continues to have a profound influence today on many people’s lives
• There have been and will be many imposters who try to copy Jesus’ style and claim it as their own
• Jesus is planning a comeback world tour

This is by no means meant to be a complete list, so please feel free to add or comment.
