After the sermon on the mount, Jesus and John went back to the temple to eat some of the leftovers. John, naturally, started feeling very insecure and self-conscious. How could Jesus love him?
John, plagued with worry, said, "Jesus, do you still love me?"
Jesus looked at him with disgust. He hated having to lie to him, but Sky Daddy told him that he must love everyone. "John, I am legally required by my employer to love everyone on this planet."
John wasn't sure if he should feel comforted or offended. "Yes, Lord. Sorry, Lord."
"Now, where are my other disciples?"
"Matthew will be here shortly; I paid him three shillings to help me with math. I'm trying to get into the University of Nazareth, you see. Or Bethlehem College, either one is-"
"Yes, yes very well then. I'm going to go find Simon Peter and Andrew. Have you seen my disguise anywhere?"
"Right here, Christ. I'm sorry, I was missing you last night so I decided to extract your scent from it to put in my diffuser."
Jesus chose not to hear that alarming statement. "It's so annoying that I have to wear a disguise when I go out in public now. These Romans think I'm some military mastermind. I wonder what would invoke that conspiracy?"
"No idea, Master. You're only recruiting a bunch of young men to follow you about. That's not at all sus."
John watched as Jesus departed. His face was like the sun, shining in all its brilliance. Dang, John thought to himself, that's a perfect way to end Revelations 1:16. I'm such a smart cookie. When Jesus faded from sight, John pulled out his inhaler. Seeing the gorgeous son-of-god was always breathtaking.
