The momentum of the "Jesus Year"

Yes I admit I was born in 1980 - and yes this makes me old. At one point in my life I sported a side pony tail, jelly bracelets and matching shoes, short shorts, a slap wrist band, neon clothing and loved loved loved watching George of the Jungle, Heman and Jem! Now I dont dress as cool and say old people things like "do you remember when...".

This year being 2013 makes it my Jesus year! I need to do something big this year - the question is what.....


What is a Jesus Year: 

 So, what exactly is a Jesus Year? The term cropped up periodically on early blogs and Myspace pages, but only now appears to be gaining traction among those trying to make the increasingly difficult transition from adolescence to adulthood.

The ‘Jesus Year’ is age 33, the year that scholars generally believe Jesus of Nazareth was probably arrested and crucified in Jerusalem after starting a spiritual, political and intellectual revolution. The ‘Jesus Year’ is now also becoming the age in which young people – not necessarily only Christians, but everyone in this multicultural society – decide it’s time to get serious about life, time to accomplish something.

This is the definition found in the Urban Dictionary: “Time to get moving and get things done (maybe).”
