If Jesus Twittered












Twitter is the fastest growing social-media outlets that is out there. It is quickly drawing in new people everyday. It enables friends and family and even stalkers to stay connected by a person simply answering a simple question, What Are You Doing? And you have to answer it within a 140 character called a tweet.

With the rise of many celebrities getting on board with Twitter, it has enabled them to be able to connect to their fans and followers through the use of quotes, pic's, videos and links, creating a huge platform for them to be able to influence people in a much bigger way. Many of the popular celebrities that currently have the biggest draw of followers include people like Ashton Kutcher, Ellen Degeneres, Oprah, and Barack Obama. Ashton Kutcher currently has over 3 million people that currently follow him.

Now that got me to thinking... If Jesus had access to the technology that we have today, how would He use it and what would He have to say to us?

The sermon on the mount is one of the greatest and longest teachings that Jesus has given to us. He teaches us what the marks of a believer and shows us practical steps in how we are to live our life out for Christ, but He gives it us to take in bite sized tweets so we can apply these principles to our life.

So if Jesus was writing a tweet to you what would He have to say to you?

That's what we are hoping to discover through this series. A real God, with a real message for you.
