Jesus in New York

        Jesus walks the snowy sidewalk in New York. It is Christmas Eve.
    Most people have done their shopping, the stores are still open. ..
    Jesus is dressed in a grey woolen coat and suite with black galoshes
    over his shoes. He walks amongst the last minute shoppers. How many
    Christmases has he seen? The Romans thought they had crucified a man.
    He was more than a man. He could not die.

          His mother Mary had sworn to her family that she did not break her
    vow of virginity. Joseph her husband would have had her banished or stoned
    to death, if she had betrayed him. Jesus was the Son of God. His father
    is God. And Jesus could not die. How long did Adam live 800 years?
    Adam was God's first son, but he betrayed the All Father. God banished
    Adam and condemned him to death. Jesus looked up at the snow falling
    on the just and the sinners.

        He stood before the wall of names at the remains of the Twin Trade Towers.
    Was this the work of Ishmael the obedient one? What had become of his people?
    Jesus knew the day he must appear to men would bring about Armageddon.
    His name is war to the infidels. The money changers had claimed this world
    and his church. He looked over to his wife and kissed her. Yes, Mary Magdalene
    still lived. Jesus has that power and the power to raise the dead. He is God.
    She asked if they could go home. Their family was waiting to celebrate His birthday.

        Jesus had hundreds of children. They were all successful. If only the Vatican
    had listened to him and opened a dialogue with Mohamed when he sent
    his emissaries. But, they wanted Jerusalem. It has always been about territory.
    Jesus held Mary's hand, "Let us put the Angel on the tree. My mother is
    waiting with tea." The Holy Couple walked slowly back to their apartment at
    Trump Towers.
