Is Jesus woke? Since Christ is usually the lapel worn on the sleeves of those who oppose being woke, it begs the question, right? Would Jesus Christ be in denial or “aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues especially of racial and social justice” as Merriam-Webster’s defines the adjective?
First, did Christ behave in a woke way? A nostalgic recall of biblical stories throughout the ages says yes. One only need to recollect the parable of the Good Samaritan, the Woman at the Well or the Healing of the Roman Centurion’s Pais to support that Jesus’ actions were woke — not to forget, Him being too inclusive was one of the many reasons, among several, for why He was murdered.
Second, how about what He said? Verse after verse in the Gospels support that Jesus and His message were for all who believe, not all who believe but are not gay, Black, female, etc. The hallmark verse plastered at NFL end-zones where Christ said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life” is pretty inclusive — we’re all a whosoever.
So for the persons who oppose being woke, in the name of Jesus, it seems like a careful study of the person you say you believe in is in order. Simply stated: It’s more synchronous with Jesus’ actions and words to be a proud woke Christian than a denying, sleepwalking one.

This is embarrassing, I live in Bakersfield..
he needs first to understand what he is reading, then he needs to look at what God said and did about the gay, lesbion and alternative sex perverts.
this is one issue i believe the muslim got right.
They always manage to ignore the need for true repentance. According to these people Jesus would have no problem with their continuing practice of gay sex, yet Jesus could not have been more clear that we must turn away from sin to be completely acceptable to Him.
Christ was a Torah observant Jew, who only corrected what needed correcting. He was pro-life and pro-death penalty and He rejected homosexuality.
Same dude...?

If so, nuff said.
The least thing the son of God had was pride, pride in a person implies that he feels that he is better than others and that is a sin
All gaslight, all the time.
If you have no doubt that God doesn't exist, and you also know that the Son of God was a woke communist ... you might be a Democrat.
Jesus said, "Whoever will, may come." However, He required repentance, something that isn't considered woke.
This person wouldn’t know Jesus if He flipped over his money changing table.
“Woke” basically means denial of reality. Jesus IS reality.
The Lord exampled and taught personally helping others, and would not provide a second miracle of loaves to those who came just for a hand out, not fostering a welfare state. It is evangelicals that are foremost providers of non-government humanitarian aid.
the Woman at the Well
The Lord exposed her as living in fornication, and did not refers to that as marriage.
or the Healing of the Roman Centurion’s Pais to support that Jesus’.
At His own expense.
In contrast, all that the Left supports is a denial or perversion of what the Bible teaches.
Exactly!
YESHUA IS THE GOD OF THE WHOLE BIBLE.
Well said.
The parables of the talents and of the vineyard are so not woke.
Many who are first in this life will be last in the next.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
The socialist left is confused over the meaning of “woke” and “inclusive,” which has been redefined by the new world religion. Those cult followers have been indoctrinated by a redefined “tolerance” of sin. Word games and mind tricks straight from hell.
