Jesus the Baptist

Today in class, while describing about 'drama' and highlighting the characteristics of Shakespeare's drama, I spoke of how Shakespeare had the ability to make characters life-size and not hyperbolic.  To prove the point to the students - and to wake up - I asked one of them to walk from his place to the front like Jesus.  My intention was to show how we caricature Jesus. My point was proved when - he woke up - he walked with one hand on his chest and the other hand in the 'blessing mode'.  So I asked the class, do you really think Jesus walked about in this posture all around?

To further freshen up the student I asked him to deliver a dialogue as if he were Jesus. He did not take long to say, "Repent and believe, the Kingdom of God is at hand!"

We all burst out laughing!
