"Personal Jesus"

"Personal Jesus" is a song by Depeche Mode that uses religious imagery to explore the idea of personal connection and support. The phrase suggests that individuals can find comfort, guidance, or a sense of faith through their own relationships or beliefs, rather than relying solely on traditional institutions. It emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in seeking solace and meaning in life, portraying the concept of a "personal Jesus" as a metaphor for accessing spiritual or emotional support on one's own terms.
