Eugene Cho appears to have found Jesus on Facebook. OK, so it’s not really Jesus. But someone has created a spoof of what Jesus’s Facebook page might have looked like during holy week.

Pretty funny.

It also presents a fairly accurate account of the events of holy week.

A lot of people who are a part of the post-modern, Facebook generation have never read any account of the events of holy week. While some people will inevitably chafe at the humor or scrutinize the theology, I think it’s a great way to get people talking and thinking about the death and resurrection of Jesus as we approach the Easter holiday.

What do you think? Funny? Not funny? A good evangelistic tool or not? Will you share this with your Christian friends? How about those friends who are not Christians?

Which best describes your organization's approach to assessing the value/ROI of social media?

We diligently track the source of all sales/goals so we know what social media is producing.
We look at trends. If our use of social media correlates with an increase in our sales/goals that indicates it's value.
You can't put a dollar value on relationships and so we don't try to assess the value/ROI of social media.
We're doing some tracking of the source of sales/goals, so we have some numbers, but we also recognize there's more to the value of social media than those numbers.
We're experimenting with social media now. We'll tackle the value/ROI issue once we get a better idea of what we're doing.
We know we should be trying to assess the value of social media, but we just don't know how.
We're not using social media.
