“In Matthew 15:16, Jesus asks Peter a critical question. “But what about you? he asked. Who do you say I am?” This is a question we need to ask. Many people today say they like Jesus, but who is this Jesus they are talking about? Even if you walked into a Christian bookstore and asked Christians what they think of Jesus, you might wonder what Jesus they are talking about. It seems the Jesus of the Bible isn’t always the same as the Jesus we see in either pop culture or in the Christian subculture. I think we see glimpses of Him in both, but to me it’s a bit scary to realize what version of Jesus we are creating in both of these worlds.”
“I wonder how much we have turned Jesus into a shadow of who He really is according to the Bible.”
Dan Kimball “They Like Jesus but Not the Church”
