Which Jesus do you try to follow?
In a recent conversation, a friend was praising Mr. Charles Kirk for leading people to Jesus even though he was adamantly opposed to Mr. Kirk’s politics. I responded to my friend by asking, “I wonder which Jesus he was leading others to?” My question was ‘puzzling’ said my friend. So, I went further and observed that we seem to be inclined to see the Jesus we want to see. We choose examples from Jesus’ life to support what we want Jesus to support which aligns with our values and lifestyles. There are those, for example, who see Jesus are an answer to their health and wealth desires. There are those who see Jesus as calling to a very simple lifestyle. Many scriptures indicate that Jesus was fond and supportive of those from other nationalities and races. Some even think Jesus surely had blue eyes and long blond hair, like Europeans and Americans. I think my question is a good question for all of us, “Which Jesus do you try to follow?"
