Introduction

Being Jesus Online

So much has changed in the last 25 years. We now communicate via Twitter rather than letter. People spend more time on Facebook than in face-to-face conversations. No one drops off film for developing any more. We share life one picture at a time on Instagram.

Much has changed but much has stayed the same. Communication is still difficult. Relationships still take work. And followers of Jesus still have a mission to share God’s love, mercy, and grace wherever they go—even online.

The Bible has important things to say about how we communicate and relate to one another. Never has it been more relevant than in the immediacy of today’s wired world. In the following pages you won’t find a manual full of dos and don’ts, but timeless principles that will help you reflect Christ in your online spaces.
