I would, otherwise, suggest a different use of font between the colors and black/white, but I rather enjoy the consistency used throughout the piece. It's just molded to specific purposes, which makes more sense to approach the piece that way.
As far as impact, you're doing it very effectively through creative ingenuity, as well as courage knowing full well the retaliation it will (and has) received.
Well done for both artistic and expressionistic reasons.
Graphically this is a good piece. It is legible and the message is clear. I'm studying as a graphic artist personally and I've come to the conclusion that about half of every possiblity will be unacceptable as they will be irrelevant or misunderstood. The kerning is even enough though it doesn't look to me like you altered that at all. Maybe giving the word Jesus a tad more room both above and below and in between the individual letters is the only suggestion I have for improving this piece but frankly that's a personal opinion not a standard rule.
The reason I gave this piece only three stars for originality is that this is a common analogy that I see every time a youth group promotes Jesus. However, I also gave you five stars for impact because of the obvious reaction in the comments. While the reaction is partially a problem with association, this is the artist's piece and therefore his effort to place it here. The technique is simple, which is good for logos and taglines. I don't feel it's a five star technique is because of some seemingly missed minor details like the kerning. Lastly, it's hard to say whether there was vision or not, mostly because it's very easy to go into any manipulation program and make something like this within 30 minutes if you know what you're doing. The reason I rated this with a three and a half is because I know how tedious the pen tool can be - if that's what was used to make the brush and paint dish (and potentially a few other details).
I hope this feed back is of use.
