So, can you picture Jesus and the Apostles sitting around a TV, watching the Olympics, cheering on the home team?
I can.
My take is that He was fun to be around, and would pick up any excuse for a merry gathering. He didn't just have joy; He IS joy.
So yeah, I can see Him leaping to His feet when Simone Biles secures another gold, and shaking His head in sorrowful sympathy when a hurdler disastrously mistimes a step.
And telling Simon Peter 'Hey, more wings, how about, Rocky?'
Sylvia likes the Olympics, but thinks all the medals should be ice cream.
Jesus enjoyed a wedding, meals on the beach and with friends. Yep, I think He'd enjoy the games with His faithful friends ... and He'd be looking for opportunities to share His loving kindness with those gathered nearby.
