Scripture Warns Against False Views of Jesus

There are lots of false views of Jesus floating around. Did you know Scripture Warns Against these twisted descriptions of Jesus? This 1-minute devotion explains.

It breaks my heart to see the way our world so often portrays my Savior. 

They've created a Jesus who barely mentions sin because his goal is to make people feel good about themselves.

Sadly, some Christians have bought into this false idea, thinking we should talk about Christ's love, not about sin.

But it is absolutely impossible to do that. Jesus' love for us cannot be separated from His hatred of sin. Jesus hated sin so much that He died a brutal death to defeat it. And He spent His life on earth helping mankind understand the terrible damage of sin and our need for a Savior.

Speaking to the Corinthian church, Paul rebuked them saying, “If someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, … you put up with it easily enough” (2 Corinthians 11:4).
We need to heed this warning as well. Keeping silent about sin will make us more popular for sure. But it won't make us more like Jesus. 

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first,” Jesus said (John 15:18).

We must honestly ask ourselves this question: Do we love Jesus enough to be hated?

    Hi Gail. Such a great truth here. You see it all around, this compromise and desire to please everybody. Its coming to that time when standing up for the truth is going to be more unpopular than ever. I pray the Lord gives us strength when its our turn to speak up.
    God bless

    So true. Tragic that this "other Jesus" isn't only popular in the world, but also in many many churches. Or should we rather say "churches"?

      Yes, João. I think the real damage is the way this "other Jesus" has infiltrated Christian thinking.

    Excellent post and so appropriate for our times. It has definitely crept into our churches, and I hear it among some of my family members. The sad part is that they get really angry when I try to tell them the truth because they, unfortunately, think they know the truth. Very sad and heartbreaking. We all certainly need the help of our Lord to stand firm in this day and age....Linda E.

    Far too many churches have taken this road- a watered down Jesus so as not to 'offend' anyone. The only One we should be worried about offending is the King of Kings
