  or apparent death as the revival of a drowned

3

• Are we serving the real Jesus as revealed in the
  bible, or a religious idol that we have
  manufactured in our minds based on our religious
  upbringing, public education, previous hurts,
  personal feelings, and our own willful
  expectations and demands?
• Maybe it is time to focus on the biblical Jesus,
  and let him change us into His image-not change
  Him into ours

4
Jesus didnt talk about sin?

• Another wimpy idea brought to you by Satan

5
Jesus Preached Repentance

• 12 When Jesus heard that John had been arrested,
  he left Judea and returned to Galilee. 13 He went
  first to Nazareth, then left there and moved to
  Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the
  region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14 This fulfilled
  what God said through the prophet Isaiah
• 17 From then on Jesus began to preach, "Repent of
  your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of
  Heaven is near."
• Matthew 412-17

6
Told Sinners the Truth

• John 416-20
• He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come
  here." The woman answered and said, "I have no
  husband." Jesus said to her, "You have correctly
  said, 'I have no husband' for you have had five
  husbands, and the one whom you now have is not
  your husband this you have said truly."
• The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You
  are a prophet.

7
Mark 1017-22

• As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up
  to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good
  Teacher, what shall I do to C inherit eternal
  life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me
  good? No one is good except God alone.
• "You know the commandments, 'DO NOT MURDER, DO
  NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR
  FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER
  AND MOTHER.'"

8

• And he said to Him, "Teacher, I have kept all
  these things from my youth up." Looking at him,
  Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One
  thing you lack go and sell all you possess and
  give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
  heaven and come, follow Me."
• But at these words he was saddened, and he went
  away grieving, for he was one who owned much
  property.

9
Jesus Wasnt Always Nice

• 37 As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees
  invited him home for a meal. So he went in and
  took his place at the table. 38 His host was
  amazed to see that he sat down to eat without
  first performing the hand-washing ceremony
  required by Jewish custom.
• 39 Then the Lord said to him, "You Pharisees are
  so careful to clean the outside of the cup and
  the dish, but inside you are filthyfull of greed
  and wickedness! 40 Fools! Didn't God make the
  inside as well as the outside? 41 So clean the
  inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will
  be clean all over.
• Luke 1137-41

10
Matt 231-36

• Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his
  disciples, 2 "The teachers of religious law and
  the Pharisees are the official interpreters of
  the law of Moses. 3 So practice and obey whatever
  they tell you, but don't follow their example.
  For they don't practice what they teach. 4 They
  crush people with impossible religious demands
  and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
• 5 "Everything they do is for show6 And they love
  to sit at the head table at banquets and in the
  seats of honor in the synagogues. 7 They love to
  receive respectful greetings as they walk in the
  marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi.' 8 "Don't
  let anyone call you 'Rabbi,' for you have only
  one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers
  and sisters.

11

• 9 And don't address anyone here on earth as
  'Father,' for only God in heaven is your
  spiritual Father. 10 And don't let anyone call
  you 'Teacher,' for you have only one teacher, the
  Messiah. 11 The greatest among you must be a
  servant. 12 But those who exalt themselves will
  be humbled, and those who humble themselves will
  be exalted.
• 13 "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious
  law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut
  the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's
  faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you don't
  let others enter either.
• 15 "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious
  law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross
  land and sea to make one convert, and then you
  turn that person into twice the child of hell you
  yourselves are!

12

• 16 "Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! 17
  Blind fools!
• 19 How blind! 23 "What sorrow awaits
  youHypocrites!
• 24 Blind guides!
• 25 "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious
  law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so
  careful to clean the outside of the cup and the
  dish, but inside you are filthyfull of greed and
  self-indulgence!
• 26 You blind Pharisee!
• 27 "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious
  law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are
  like whitewashed tombsbeautiful on the outside
  but filled on the inside with dead people's bones
  and all sorts of impurity. 28 Outwardly you look
  like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts
  are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.

13

• 29 "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious
  law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build
  tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed, and
  you decorate the monuments of the godly people
  your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, 'If we
  had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would
  never have joined them in killing the prophets.'
• 31 "But in saying that, you testify against
  yourselves that you are indeed the descendants of
  those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead and
  finish what your ancestors started. 33 Snakes!
  Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment
  of hell?

14

• 34 "Therefore, I am sending you prophets and wise
  men and teachers of religious law. But you will
  kill some by crucifixion, and you will flog
  others with whips in your synagogues, chasing
  them from city to city. 35 As a result, you will
  be held responsible for the murder of all godly
  people of all time

15
Jesus never got angry?

• Another common misconception

16
John 217

• And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them
  all out of the temple, with the sheep and the
  oxen and He poured out the coins of the money
  changers and overturned their tables and to
  those who were selling the doves He said, "Take
  these things away stop making My Father's house
  a place of business."
• His disciples remembered that it was written,
  "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

17
Eph 425-32

• Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH
  EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are
  members of one another. BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT
  SIN do not let the sun go down on your anger,
  and do not give the devil an opportunity
• Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth,
  but only such a word as is good for edification
  according to the need of the moment, so that it
  will give grace to those who hear.

18
Righteous Anger vs. Unrighteous

• Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you
  were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all
  bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and
  slander be put away from you, along with all
  malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted,
  forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also
  has forgiven you.

19
Jesus was never Harsh with the disciples?

• Oh really?

20
Luke 937-62

• The next day, after they had come down the
  mountain, a large crowd met Jesus. 38 A man in
  the crowd called out to him, "Teacher, I beg you
  to look at my son, my only child. 39 An evil
  spirit keeps seizing him, making him scream. It
  throws him into convulsions so that he foams at
  the mouth. It batters him and hardly ever leaves
  him alone. 40 I begged your disciples to cast out
  the spirit, but they couldn't do it."
• 41 "You faithless and corrupt people," Jesus
  said, "how long must I be with you and put up
  with you?" Then he said to the man, "Bring your
  son here."

21

• 42 As the boy came forward, the demon knocked him
  to the ground and threw him into a violent
  convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and
  healed the boy. Then he gave him back to his
  father. 43 Awe gripped the people as they saw
  this majestic display of God's power.
• While everyone was marveling at everything he was
  doing, Jesus said to his disciples, 44 "Listen to
  me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is
  going to be betrayed into the hands of his
  enemies." 45 But they didn't know what he meant.
  Its significance was hidden from them, so they
  couldn't understand it, and they were afraid to
  ask him about it.

22

• 46 Then his disciples began arguing about which
  of them was the greatest. 47 But Jesus knew their
  thoughts, so he brought a little child to his
  side. 48 Then he said to them, "Anyone who
  welcomes a little child like this on my behalf
  welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also
  welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the
  least among you is the greatest."
• 49 John said to Jesus, "Master, we saw someone
  using your name to cast out demons, but we told
  him to stop because he isn't in our group."
• 50 But Jesus said, "Don't stop him! Anyone who is
  not against you is for you."

23
He Rebukes Them

• 51 As the time drew near for him to ascend to
  heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
  52 He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan
  village to prepare for his arrival. 53 But the
  people of the village did not welcome Jesus
  because he was on his way to Jerusalem. 54 When
  James and John saw this, they said to Jesus,
  "Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to
  burn them up?"
• 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 So they
  went on to another village.

24
Insensitive to Family

• As they were walking along, someone said to
  Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go."
• 58 But Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens to live
  in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has
  no place even to lay his head."
• 59 He said to another person, "Come, follow me."
• The man agreed, but he said, "Lord, first let me
  return home and bury my father."
• 60 But Jesus told him, "Let the spiritually dead
  bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and
  preach about the Kingdom of God."

25

• 61 Another said, "Yes, Lord, I will follow you,
  but first let me say good-bye to my family."
• 62 But Jesus told him, "Anyone who puts a hand to
  the plow and then looks back is not fit for the
  Kingdom of God."

26
Hebrews 18-9

• But to the Son he says,
• "Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.
  You rule with a scepter of justice. You love
  justice and hate evil.
• Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you,
  pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on
  anyone else."

27
Jesus Was Mean to Peter

• But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me,
  Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me for you
  are not setting your mind on God's interests, but
  man's."
• Matthew 1623 NASU
• 23 Jesus turned to Peter and said, "Get away from
  me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You
  are seeing things merely from a human point of
  view, not from God's."
• Matthew 1623 NLT

28

• Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you
  wants to be my follower, you must turn from your
  selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.
• 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will
  lose it. But if you give up your life for my
  sake, you will save it.
• 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole
  world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth
  more than your soul?
• Matthew 1624-27

29

• My child, don't reject the Lord's discipline, and
  don't be upset when he corrects you. For the Lord
  corrects those he loves, just as a father
  corrects a child in whom he delights.
• Proverbs 311-12 NLT

30
Even Mean to His Own Family

• Matt 1246-50
• While He was still speaking to the crowds,
  behold, His mother and brothers were standing
  outside, seeking to speak to Him. Someone said to
  Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are
  standing outside seeking to speak to You.
• But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him
  and said, "Who is My mother and who are My
  brothers?"

31

• And stretching out His hand toward His disciples,
  He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers!
• "For whoever does the will of My Father who is in
  heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."

32
Jesus never drank wine or feasted?

• Where did you come up with this one?

33
Jesus Hung Out With Sinners

• Matt 1118-24
• 18 For John didn't spend his time eating and
  drinking, and you say, 'He's possessed by a
  demon.' 19 The Son of Man, on the other hand,
  feasts and drinks, and you say, 'He's a glutton
  and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors
  and other sinners!' But wisdom is shown to be
  right by its results."
• 20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns where
  he had done so many of his miracles, because they
  hadn't repented of their sins and turned to God.

34
Denounces Cities to Hell

• 21 "What sorrow awaits you, Korazin and
  Bethsaida! For if the miracles I did in you had
  been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon, their people
  would have repented of their sins long ago,
  clothing themselves in burlap and throwing ashes
  on their heads to show their remorse. 22 I tell
  you, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on
  judgment day than you.
• 23 "And you people of Capernaum, will you be
  honored in heaven? No, you will go down to the
  place of the dead. For if the miracles I did for
  you had been done in wicked Sodom, it would still
  be here today. 24 I tell you, even Sodom will be
  better off on judgment day than you."

35
Luke 533

• One day some people said to Jesus, "John the
  Baptist's disciples fast and pray regularly, and
  so do the disciples of the Pharisees.
• Why are your disciples always eating and
  drinking?"

36
Luke 733-35

• For John the Baptist didn't spend his time eating
  bread or drinking wine, and you say, 'He's
  possessed by a demon.'
• The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and
  drinks, and you say, 'He's a glutton and a
  drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and
  other sinners!'
• 35 But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives
  of those who follow it."

37
Jesus Liked Barbecues

• 7 Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter,
  "It's the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it
  was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had
  stripped for work), jumped into the water, and
  headed to shore. 8 The others stayed with the
  boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for
  they were only about a hundred yards from shore.
• 9 When they got there, they found breakfast
  waiting for themfish cooking over a charcoal
  fire, and some bread.
• John 217-9

38
Jesus Makes Good Wine

• John 21-12
• The next day there was a wedding celebration in
  the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was
  there, and Jesus and his disciples were also
  invited to the celebration. The wine supply ran
  out during the festivities, so Jesus' mother told
  him, "They have no more wine."
• "Dear woman, that's not our problem," Jesus
  replied. "My time has not yet come."

39

• But his mother told the servants, "Do whatever he
  tells you."
• Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used
  for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold
  twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the
  servants, "Fill the jars with water." When the
  jars had been filled, he said, "Now dip some out,
  and take it to the master of ceremonies." So the
  servants followed his instructions.

40

• When the master of ceremonies tasted the water
  that was now wine, not knowing where it had come
  from (though, of course, the servants knew), he
  called the bridegroom over. "A host always serves
  the best wine first," he said. "Then, when
  everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out
  the less expensive wine. But you have kept the
  best until now!"
• This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the
  first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his
  disciples believed in him.
• After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few
  days with his mother, his brothers, and his
  disciples.

41
How Much Good Wine?

• 120 Gallons 606 bottles of wine
• 180 Gallons 909 bottles of wine on the wall

42
Jesus Didnt scare people with hell?

• Or did He?

43
Matthew 2541-46

• "Then He will also say to those on His left, '
  Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal
  fire which has been prepared for the devil and
  his angels for I was hungry, and you gave Me
  nothing to eat I was thirsty, and you gave Me
  nothing to drink I was a stranger, and you did
  not invite Me in naked, and you did not clothe
  Me sick, and in prison, and you did not visit
  Me.'

44

• "Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord,
  when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a
  stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and
  did not take care of You?'
• "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you,
  to the extent that you did not do it to one of
  the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'
  "These will go away into eternal punishment, but
  the righteous into eternal life."

45
Jesus Love Is Conditional

• "He who has My commandments and keeps them is the
  one who loves Me and he who loves Me will be
  loved by My Father, and I will love him and will
  disclose Myself to him."
• "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word and
  My Father will love him, and We will come to him
  and make Our abode with him. "He who does not
  love Me does not keep My words and the word
  which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who
  sent Me.
• John 1421-24 NASU
