Have you ever imagined Chris Rose snagging a 60-second interview with the Savior of the World? Me too. I imagine it would go something like this:

CR: My first name is Christopher. I guess that makes me your namesake.

JC: I?m honored.

CR: Okay, now you?re being ironic.

JC: No, I?m not. But it?s okay; I?m used to the reaction.

CR: Speaking of names, what does your middle initial ?H? stand for?

JC: Oh, that?s an embarrassing question! It stands for ?Herod.? That was a very popular name when I was born. Much less popular after Herod Sr. slaughtered the Holy Innocents and Herod Jr. married his brother?s wife.

CR: Can you give me the winning numbers for the next Powerball drawing?

JC: I could. But for the good of your soul, I won?t.

CR: Meaning what, exactly?

JC: Meaning that, when I said It?s easier for a camel to pass through a needle?s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, I meant it literally.

CR: Buddha: was he where it?s at? Is he where you are?

JC: No and yes?not necessarily in that order.
