Creative Works… 216 WWJD at a PWI?: What Would Jesus Do at a Private White Institution? by Vanessa Burch
Jesus and God look down upon earth to admire God’s creation. They admire the trees, waters, mountains, but especially God’s children. God turns to Jesus and says, “My son, I am going to send you to earth once more. Many people on earth have continued to love you since your resurrection, and have been praying that you walk with them in life. They are in desperate need of your presence. I ask that you go and walk with them, experience life as a human, observe, come back, and tell me if humanity has learned to accept Our love.” Jesus says, “Of course Father, I love all of our children and want to be there for them in their time of need. Where shall I go? Who needs my presence?” God points to a Christian university in America. “You must return as a college student and visit that campus. Many are stressed from school and have asked for your peace. They will not know you are the son of God, but you will go by Jesús. You will walk with them in their life as a student until I summon you to return.” Jesus says, “Let your will be done.” Jesus suddenly finds himself in the admissions office of the university. He walks up to the front desk and says, “Hello, I would love to enroll in this university. How can I start?” The admissions officer stares at Jesus for what feels like a while. He says, “Well, fill out this application and submit your tuition. You don’t look like you’re from here; what’s your name?” “My name is Jesús, and I just moved to America.”
