If Jesus came back today, He would return ownership of all the oil fields to their country of origin, and then hide the oil under fields of solar arrays.

If Jesus came back today, He, too, would refuse to be vaccinated.

If Jesus came back today, He would wonder where all the birds, bees, bats, salmon, whales and other species have gone.

If Jesus came back today, He would write an editorial to the New York Times, be rejected, and send His article to OpEd news instead.

If Jesus came back today, He would see what we have done and weep. Perhaps we should weep in His place instead of dressing up in our Easter best – clothes we can't afford, designed to impress people we don't really like – and going to a place of worship where the prevailing philosophy is, and has always been, “You can do what you want, and all you have to do to be forgiven is say you're sorry”.

Sorry is the first step in atonement, not the last. From sorry, we must progress to changing our ways. This concept appears to have escaped many Christians.

Life is fleeting, eternity forever, and the curious belief fostered by most Christian churches – that God is all-forgiving – is not exactly a contract with God's signature, but a hope springing eternal in the hearts of individuals who have much to be forgiven.
