There are many odd places around the world where Jesus turns up. For instance here is his grave in Japan

    According to The Church of God Almighty, Jesus is currently living as a Chinese woman in New York City.

    My massage therapist is completely convinced of this, and really wants me to read and listen to the thousands of lectures "Jesus" has published.

    I told her that when I was 24 I met Him, and that if this woman is really Him, then she would know who I am and remember when and where we met.

    His face apparently appears on pieces of toast from time to time.

    Most surprisingly of all, perhaps, we can meet him in any local church of all places.

    As 'very God, begotten not created' as we'll be singing in a carol soon, he is, of course omnipresent.

    Seems like I find Jesus in the hungry, in the thirsty, in the stranger, the sick and the imprisoned. Odd places, but I do.

    Spot on!

    He even turns up for our service of Eucharist!

    When my son was about four or five, and we were riding on a bus, a long-haired, robed young man wearing sandals told us he was Jesus. My son said, "No, you are not because your nose is sunburned."

    One Halloween, I saw a guy dressed up as Jesus and carrying a loaf of bread (looked like a ciabatta).

    Not odd at all.

    Behind the fridge: odd.

    Where do the hungry, thirsty strangers and prisoners find him?

    In those who treat them well.

    Doesn't that set a sort of two groups of people thing up? I remember Mr Cheesy, late of this parish, who had a hypothesis that there are two gospels - that of repentance, delivered to the rich, and that of unconditional acceptance, delivered to the poor. As in Dives and Lazarus and the Magnificat.

    Trouble is, those two groups aren't separate. You can be poor in some respects and rich in others -- I know I am. And so I come in for both Jesus' warnings and his blessings, depending on which area of life we're talking about.

    I don't think that's a bad thing, really. It prevents me from getting complacent and also from despair.

    That's what's interesting about it. When I look out into the world I think I can categorise people into one or the other but then look inwards and it's no longer binary.
