What if my son was Jesus?

For several years, I have overheard members of the Easter Pageant describe the closeness they felt to the spirit while participating in the pagaent. I longed for that sweet feeling. 

For the last two years, I have put the auditions in my calendar, but every October we were busy... until this year. 

After the group auditions, one of the producers followed us out. He asked me my name, and then directed the rest of the questions to my older son. "How old are you? Why are you here?"

Knowing there is a part for a 12 year old Jesus, I was intrigued by his interest in my child. 

And then it hit me, what if my child was Jesus?

Would his homework matter? Would I offer a helping hand when he spilled his milk for the third time that day?  Would I provide more service opportunities?  Would he still play on sports teams?  How would I handle conflicts?

Would I show my love more?

UPDATE:
My children and I were selected for the Easter pageant. My children will be with Jesus, and I hope that as they sit on his lap, they will feel HIS love.
