But wait, does this mean lil' Evelyn will have to stay short in heaven? :-( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1paYhEDFQIw His small stature is of course why Jesus related well to children.

Or maybe He meant that "brethren" thing literally! Maybe all His family were really really short -- some kind of genetic thing!

I'm wondering about how short Jesus might have been if the average height was 5'5"! If he was under 5' then it was quite an accomplishment walking all over the country! And, along with the beating He had taken, maybe this is another reason someone was forced to carry the cross for Him! What do you want to call your denomination? It's got to be something hip but old, full of future-ancient meaning and stuff.

But seriously, it's a great thing that Jesus can be short for the short, tall for the tall, black for the black, white for the white, etc. Not that we should separate ourselves that way but you know what I mean.

Randy Newman Jesus was not crucified to save the world or because he ticked off the Romans or the Jewish leaders. He was executed because he was short. "Well, I don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Don't want no Short People Round here" I could not resist... :D So in the theology of Rev.
