Jesus of the Bible once
asked His disciples, "Who do people
say I am?" and "Who do you
say I am?" These questions are very relevant and even more so today.
He asks these same questions of us too. But how can anyone know for sure who
Jesus is when confronted with so many different views of Him today? Everyone
wants a piece of Jesus. You don't hear or read any other great people,
prophets, or religious founders contented as much and as heated as Jesus (Have
you ever wonder why people want to attack the person of Jesus? Why not other religious
leaders?). If Jesus (of the Bible) is the truth, then all other Jesuses must be
false or not as accurate as of the real one.
This book is beneficial in
identifying false Christs and fake Jesuses from the Biblical Jesus, who is the
truth, the life, and the only way to God. Dr. Wayne discusses how the early
witnesses such as his family, disciples, the leaders, the Roman and Jewish
historians, and the early Church viewed and believed about Jesus. He also
highlighted some false Christianities, false messiahs, or alternative christs
before and after the death and resurrection of Jesus of the Bible (this is
usually referred to as the early heterodox perspectives). I particularly enjoy
reading about The Jesus of World
Religions, especially from Hinduism, Buddhist, and Islam perspectives, and The Jesus of Media Scholarship that
focuses on the efforts of The Jesus
Seminar and Bart Ehrman.
Dr. Wayne wrote, "It is
doubtful that Christianity would have survived the persecutions of the early
centuries or blossomed to its magnitude today apart from belief in the special
nature and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus is not merely appreciated for His
teachings or respected for His high moral standards. He is worshipped, adored,
and obeyed as the sovereign God and creator of the universe, the Saviour of His
people." For that, I say, amen! 🙏😊📖 #ServeToLead
