Jesus' Job Application
Ron Walters

Can you imagine if the Savior of the world
were asked to fill out a job application?
Think of it! How would the incarnate God
answer the simple questions required for
a job interview? After all, His resume is
not run-of-the-mill.

Put yourself in that employment office.
Take a look over His shoulder and follow
along as He completes His application.
It might look something like this:
