‘They like to say “Jesus first,” which sounds inspiring—like the ultimate VIP has finally arrived at the front of the line. But in practice, it’s more like Jesus shows up, flashes a radiant smile, and then politely steps aside while a committee consults a rulebook to see if He qualifies under their membership guidelines, doctrinal checklists, and pre-approved teaching topics. He can still talk, but only if He remembers to couch every word in their approved theological vocabulary. In the end, “Jesus first” really means “Jesus, after we’ve ticked all the boxes—maybe, if He agrees to our terms.”’
