Have you ever wondered how things would be if Jesus was doing his ministry now? Back in the 1980s, a well-known TV preacher suggested that Jesus might be on TV today. He used this idea to explain why he used TV himself. But it's a good question to think about. If Jesus was here today, how would his ministry be different? I often send you all text messages, and I can't help but wonder: Would Jesus use texts too if he was teaching today?

Imagine if Jesus did send texts-what would they say? My text are usually normal stuff, like checking in or asking about things. Not really big or important things. But what if Jesus sent texts that were more meaningful? We used to have no way of knowing, until now. At least that is what the company, “Text with Jesus” claims. They state they can create texts from Jesus using AI. They say these texts would be like what Jesus might send if he was teaching now. I’m not sure how they figured out what Jesus would say in texts, since we don’t have any writings from him, let alone text messages to his disciples.

This company offers to send you lifelike texts from Jesus to help you when you’re facing challenges, if you pay the $2.99 each month. I don’t want to say bad things about this app. I haven’t used it, and I can see how it could be really helpful for some people spiritually. But it does seem a bit strange that we’re relying on an app, and the people who made it, to decide how Jesus would talk to us today.

If you want to hear Jesus, maybe instead of paying for this app, you could spend time praying. Jesus communicates with us nowadays, even if it’s not through texts. He finds ways to reach us in our lives.
