This Jesus is the one that doesn't often make the history books. The one that didn't live so daringly that He is still spoken about generations later.
This Jesus is an incredibly deadly Jesus.
He's the kind of Jesus that hides truth, distorts dreams and causes boredom. He's the kind of Jesus who probably gives when His pockets are full, but gets real tight when He's going through a dry spell financially. He's the kind of Jesus who prays when He needs something, rather than ongoingly conversing with the Creator.
He's the kind of Jesus who only hangs out with like-minded, sociable or highly-regarded people. He's the kinda Jesus who sees the negative, casts doubt over situations and doesn't particularly enjoy gladness and joy. He's the kinda guy who might serve begrudgingly - or even worse, He'll serve to gain a platform for himself.
He's a man who knows truth but doesn't love those around Him enough to share this wisdom. He's a Jesus who gives in too quickly, lacks commitment and hates the thought of leadership.
He's the kind of Jesus who doesn't speak of truth and would rather see people suffer instead of responding with prayer and love. The kinda guy who sponges off family and avoids responsibility and maturity like the plague.
Sound anything like the Jesus in the Bible?
Nah, didn't think so either.
It's easy to present the world with this fake and phoney Jesus.
If you need a fresh wave of direction, momentum and vision for Him, just stop, look and listen.
Stop living at 100mph and spend some time with Him - you'll realise how magnificent the real Jesus is. Look to how Jesus was around people; His manner, His patience, His love for them. And listen to what He has to say about your situation - He's perfectly placed to speak incredibly accurately into your life at the moment.
It's no secret that He loves you and He has a very good plan for how He needs to use you today.
