Every now and then there is something that is truly creative. Â Either it brings something to the table that hasn’t been brought before, or it casts something in a new light.
The Digital Story of the Nativity seems to do that. Â Not only is it funny, it is an interesting reflection on how we interact with important events today with, and through, technology. Â So, again, for the two or three that haven’t seen it yet… here you go!
A friend on mine recently commented (on FB), “…I really think it is sad that we have become so dependent on the internet and FB that we are now telling the story of Jesus through tech savvy videos based @ social networking instead of through the elegance of life…”
I kind of see her point. But, on the other hand, I also really see Paul’s point in Phil. 1:18 (NIV)… “But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice.”
I loved this. Funny, apropos, and timely. Also, it does point the finger a bit at the amount of technology and how it has inundated our society. I hope my techie friends catch on to this. It might be speaking with language.
Jesus’ birth — quite the buzz then, how’s it buzzing now?
