As Christians we talk a lot about being like Jesus.<\/p>\n

Well, now you can actually be<\/em><\/strong> Jesus!<\/p>\n

Sort of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A company called Lightside Games has created a game for Facebook called \u201cJourney of Jesus: The Calling\u201d in which \u201cplayers travel with Jesus through the Gospels, exploring the world of the Holy Land in that day. From the politics and history, gamers can get an education along the way. They must work together with friends to crate a community and collaborate.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

While you gamers out there will probably pick up on the Diablo III<\/em> reference in the ad below, if the ad is true and you really do get to fight the devil, then I think I\u2019ve found the first Facebook game I\u2019m actually interested in playing!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, if you\u2019ve always hated Philippians 2<\/a> and you\u2019re just dying to try your hand at being the Lord of Universe, then click on over to the Journey of Jesus<\/em> Facebook page for more info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Or if you\u2019re still on the fence about being an animated savior, you can watch the preview below before deciding whether or not being the Messiah is in your near future.<\/p>\n
