Q: Is the Super Bowl biblical? Would Jesus watch professional sports?
A: We could go into a long, theological examination here, but there's no point. Would Jesus watch sports? I think that's covered in a broader question of whether Jesus would watch TV at all. Do you think Jesus read fiction, told jokes or played board games? Let's be clear, Jesus was singularly focused on doing His Father's will. So would Jesus have done any of these things? Only in the context of loving others.
If Jesus could love others by watching professional sports with them, I suspect He would have. But Jesus would have never let it be about the sports. He kept it about the people --- as should we.
