Jesus Let His Hair Down, Too

Many people think Jesus was stoic or pious, but the opposite is true. Jesus enjoyed life to the fullest. He gathered with friends. He attended wedding celebrations. He celebrated holidays with family. Jesus understood the need for social interaction and found pleasure in good food and friendly conversation.

Just as Jesus found joy when he “let his hair down” with those he loved, our lives are enriched today through our associations with family, friends, and neighbors.
