The Real Jesus (Discerning The True From The False)

Many are convinced that they are faithful Bible believers but, in fact, worship a feel-good, self-help, motivational, and manageable Jesus — one which the Bible refers to as “another Jesus” (1 Corinthians 11:4) — one contracted from an idolatrous image they’ve built up in their minds, based on sentimental Western values. This counterfeit Jesus makes no demands on their time, money, words, social life, or sexuality. In the midst of this great and growing deception, God is looking for uncompromising believers and real disciples who are wholeheartedly committed to proclaiming the real Jesus. Are you serving the Americanized version of Jesus or the real, Biblical Jesus? When we see Jesus as He is, glorious and altogether worthy of our deepest loyalties and affections, deserving of our total focus and supreme attention, we will catch fire inwardly and burn with holy fear, as the two did on the road to Emmaus (Lk. 24:31-32). Then a holy hunger for the Word will grip our hearts, and we will proclaim Him as He is.
