The Real Jesus!

Listen to this blog.

Jesus became so well-known that Herod the ruler heard about him. Some people thought he was John the Baptist, who had come back to life with the power to work miracles. Others thought he was Elijah or some other prophet who had lived long ago.

But when Herod heard about Jesus, he said, “This must be John! I had his head cut off, and now he has come back to life.”

Mark 6:14-16

If you are not yet a believer in Jesus you may be like Herod. He knew Jesus had something to do with his own sin, but he couldn't quite figure out what it was.

Herod thought Jesus was John the Baptist come back to life to haunt him.

Where do you get your understanding of who Jesus is? Popular culture in most every country has some kind of view of Jesus that wants to shape and form your perspective of Christ. But there is only one place to go for the truth about Jesus. That place is the Bible.

One common view of Jesus is that He was a total pacifist. It says "Jesus never laid a finger on anyone!" I suppose that is correct, he used a whip to drive the money changers out of the temple. How does that fit in to my view of "being like Jesus?"

Here is the point. Search the scriptures daily to make sure you are seeing Jesus like He really is and not like you want Him to be. Then you will be walking with the Lord rather than a misunderstanding. The more you see of the "Real Jesus Christ" the more you will be amazed!
