The Right Jesus

Read: 2 Corinthians 11:1–4, 12–15

If someone . . . preaches a [false] Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, . . . you [wrongly] put up with it. 2 Corinthians 11:4

The buzz in the room faded to a comfortable silence as the book club leader summarized the novel the group would discuss. My friend Joan listened closely but didn’t recognize the plot. Finally, she realized she had read a nonfiction book with a similar title to the work of fiction the others had read. Although she enjoyed reading the “wrong” book, she couldn’t join her friends as they discussed the “right” book.

The apostle Paul didn’t want the Corinthian believers in Jesus to believe in a “wrong” Jesus. He pointed out that false teachers had infiltrated the church and presented a different “Jesus” to them, and they had swallowed the lies (2 Corinthians 11:3–4). 

Paul denounced the heresy of these phony teachers. In his first letter to the church, however, he’d reviewed the truth about the Jesus of Scripture. This Jesus was the Messiah who “died for our sins . . . was raised on the third day . . . and then [appeared] to the Twelve,” and finally to Paul himself (1 Corinthians 15:3–8). This Jesus had come to earth through a virgin named Mary and was named Immanuel (God with us) to affirm His divine nature (Matthew 1:20–23).

Does this sound like the Jesus you know? Understanding and accepting the truth written in the Bible about Him assures us that we’re on the spiritual path that leads to heaven. — Jennifer Benson Schuldt

How do you know that you believe the truth about Jesus? What might you need to investigate to make sure you understand what the Bible says about Him?

Dear God, help me to walk in the light of Your truth.

For further study, read In Pursuit of Jesus: Who He Is and Why It Matters.

Bible in a year: Genesis 23–24; Matthew 7

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you and Tippy get to hike a bit today?

Sub zero and foggy here today after an attempt by the sun to come out. Now temps have come up a bit to the low teens and they say some snow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...any weather improvement?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[left that other site]

We did a little bit of a walk, but my legs and back are still quite sore.

I have to start building up my distance again. As long as it doesn’t snow, I can walk along the main street on the sidewalk.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a relaxing weekend and are ready for the new week.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

What a weird, crazy day weather-wise up there. Nothing to see on the Lake Hood cam for the longest except white. THICK fog.
It looks like it finally cleared out around 1:00 your time, leaving a thick layer of hoarfrost on the trees. Then the sun poked out for a bit around 3:00. Crazy to see.

And VERY cold, I understand. Pleeeeeeeease don’t send it down here. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey there, Pro...hope today finds you feeling one more day better in your recovery process.

Is your cold weather and snow sticking around?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[TigerHawk]

HOWDY, KATHY,

AS ALWAYS, YA DONE GOOD. THIS POST BRINGS THE CLOSURE. HIS LIFE’S JOURNEY HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

AS THE GREAT PAUL HARVEY, WOULD HAVE SAID, “AND HERE’S THE REST OF THE STORY.”

THANK YOU.

AGAIN, YA DONE GOOD.

G-D BLESS.

[PROCON]

We're into a bit of a warming period but still lots of snow hanging around.

I'm hoping this cold/cough will go away soon, yuck!

[luvie]

I salute this fallen hero.
He gave his life for freedom...for US!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Slow and easy....til the sore goes away.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Did your alarm survive this morning? :-)
