If Jesus was walking(or driving) among us today, we think an interview with him on the subject of driving would go something like this:
HWJD: "How Would Jesus Drive is glad to welcome the man himself, Jesus. Welcome sir, thanks for coming in today."
Jesus: "Thanks. Really glad to be here. I appreciate the fact that people value my opinion on driving."
HWJD: "Have you SEEN the WWJD bracelets? They value
your opinion on everything! We just thought that driving was a place that
really needed your help. How was the traffic coming in?"
Jesus: "I've seen worse.
HWJD: "When was that."
Jesus: " One time when I was trying to get to a Sermon on the Mount, I was running a bit late and there was like, a million people there. That was a heck of a time."
HWJD: "I bet. Well, I have to be honest, you are not
dressed quite how I imagined you'd be. I pictured the long robe etc... and
here you are in jeans, a Life is Good t-shirt and Birkenstocks."
Jesus: "Funny you should bring that up. The major reason
I decided to go more casual was mostly due to driving."
HWJD: "Really? Mind telling us how that came to be?"
Jesus: "Well, back about 2000 years ago the whole robe
thing was great. It caused me to ride side saddle on the donkeys but that
was OK. When I started driving though, I was having a lot of trouble getting
my feet caught in the robe or the robe caught in the brake pedal. I almost
rear-ended an Amish family in a carriage one day and that's when I decided to
go with pants. Plus, you ever tried to get into a tall vehicle wearing a
robe? Could get a little risqué. Loose clothes, especially long items are
just dangerous when it comes to driving."
HWJD: "So what are you driving now?"
Jesus: "Well, as you might imagine I am concerned
about
the environment so right now I am driving one of those Priuses. Problem is
when I get all the guys together to go out for supper we need more room so I
am considering on of those Tahoe Hybrids from Chevy."
HWJD: "Gas mileage on those isn't as good as the Prius."
Jesus: "I know, but with up to twelve guys chipping in
it isn't bad."
HWJD: "Makes you kind of wish you could do that whole
water/wine thing, maybe a modern spin, water into gasoline."
Jesus: (chuckles) "If I did that there would be heck to
pay. If you are going to drive, you have to be financially responsible too."
HWJD: "Great segue ... what do you think are the main
responsibilities while driving?"
