Would Jesus Wear Plaid? Does it matter?

I found a great post on Stuff Christians Like yesterday and thought I'd share it. The link to the article is here. For those of you who don't know, Stuff Christians Like is a satirical blog about Christian Culture that also seeks to point Christians back to the Truth of the Word.

This particular post was pretty interesting. It was this picture from the cover of Newsweek. The caption reads, "Forget the church. Follow Jesus" Some of the comments on the original posts made a great debate about the attire Jesus is pictured in (personally, I picture Jesus wearing one of those tuxedo t-shirts, because it says "I wanna be formal, but I'm also here to party).

One person on the comment thread brought up that Newsweek is promoting something Jesus would never stand for, and shouldn't we be more concerned about this false portrayal of our Savior rather than how He's dressed? Ephesians 5:25 reminds us, "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church, and gave Himself up for her." Jesus would never advocate forgetting the church. The church is His bride. As Augustine said, the church may be "a whore," and perhaps this is what Newsweek article is talking about (I wouldn't know, I haven't read it), "but she is still my mother." This reminds me of last week at Cru when Brady came and spoke, for those of you who were there. Christ loved the church so much that He died for her. I don't think He would tell us to forsake her now.
