The 'I Am Jesus Christ' meme originated from the viral 2019 announcement trailer for a first-person simulation game where players inhabit the role of Jesus. The game's unique POV perspective, showing hands performing miracles like healing the blind or calming storms, quickly became a sensation for its surreal and campy aesthetic. Memes typically utilize these first-person miracle shots to depict the user performing mundane tasks as if they were divine acts of God. It has since evolved into a versatile template for situational humor, gaming culture jokes, and absurdism across platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok.
