Woodstock Jesus vs Biblical Jesus

Christians today are having to choose which Jesus are they going to believe in and serve.  To hear some people’s description of Jesus, He walked right out of Woodstock and into the temple to serve God in peace and love yet allows a lifestyle of each individual’s choosing.  For some Christians to hear this it seems like a made-up fairytale, but this type of Jesus is being taught to many people in today’s time.  This type of Jesus is not the Jesus found within the holy Scriptures.

Does the Bible describe Jesus as loving?  Yes.  Jesus loved mankind past, present, and future enough to give His life for the sins and redemption of everyone (1 John 4:19, Galatians 2:20, John 15:13).  Does Jesus give peace?  Yes.  Jesus is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:27, John 16:33).  Does Jesus allow a lifestyle for people to live how they desire?  No.  Jesus gives instructions and describes the life that Christians are to live according to God’s standard and Word (Matthew 16:24, Matthew 10:38, Matthew 5:48, Matthew 28:20, Matthew 7:16-21).  People must be careful of who they are listening to when it comes to which Jesus is being described. 

Not everyone comes in the true name of Jesus sharing Who He is biblically.  Some are anti-Christ.  This reflects a spirit about them leading some people to believe Jesus is the exact opposite of Who He is (2 Corinthians 11:13-15, 1 John 4:1, 2 Peter 2:1-3, 1 Timothy 6:3-5, Matthew 7:15, Jude 4).  These people are led by their sinful nature and give deception to those that listen to them all for greed.  Whether the greed is money, growing a bigger crowd, or having more money this perversion will not go unjudged by God.  The danger in this situation is that there is no current judgment of the lies of these false teachers so people believe these false teachers due to this type of Christianity being easier to live for self.  Having someone tell them that Jesus died for them and now they can live however they want to makes for a perfect breeding ground for the spiritual enemy to thrive within that person’s life.  Christians must combat this type of false description of Jesus described as a Woodstock Jesus and begin to know, teach, and live by the words of the biblical Jesus. 

There is a sad day coming for those that will be awakened by the coming of the biblical Jesus.  As people are judged for eternity it will be too late to correct their beliefs and understanding of Who Jesus is (Revelations 22:18).  It is important for people to understand now Who Jesus is according to the Bible, have a personal relationship with Him, and to live how He says to live to make it to heaven for all eternity.  For those that believe these lies of a Woodstock Jesus, they do not know Jesus (Matthew 7:23).  People must be born again through Jesus Christ (John 3:3, John 3:5, John 3:7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 3:16-18).  Christians must then live a life pleasing unto God and not full of sin (1 John 3:4-10, Romans 6:23, 1 John 5:18, Galatians 5:16).

There is a showdown coming between this false Woodstock Jesus that is man-made to please the flesh and the biblical Jesus Who is the Word made flesh, the Apostle of our profession, a Governor, Head of the church, Holy One of God, Lord of Glory, and the Truth.  May Christians know the biblical Jesus.
