Which Jesus Do You Follow?

There seems to be more than one "Jesus" to choose from these days. Which one is the true Jesus and who am I following?

· There's a 'seeker friendly' Jesus, he's the one who will not offend anyone in anyway. He loves everyone no mater what they do.

· There's a 'sow and reap' Jesus, he made a covenant with man so that man could sow his seed and reap wealth and happiness on earth and then go to heaven when he dies.

· There's a 'blend in with the world' Jesus, he wants us to look like, act like, and be like the world in order to reach the lost.

· There's a 'neverending grace' Jesus, his 'grace' covers us no matter what we do or how we live.

· There's a 'just believe' Jesus. As long as you truly believe in your heart, you're saved.

· There's a 'name it claim it' Jesus. You name it; anything and it's yours! If you don't get it, it's because you lack faith. It's your fault.

· There's a 'carnal' Jesus. He doesn't expect you to overcome sin, he understands you're just carnal.

· There's a 'heart dwelling' Jesus. All you have to do is ask him into your heart and voilà, he's there. You're going to heaven!
