Will the real Jesus please stand up?

I was visiting Phil Baker’s blog and followed the link to this article about the variety of Jesus’s people worship.

While I’m sure that the article was written for the sake of humour, I think it helps us consider something deeper. Are we really worshipping Jesus or our own shallow interpretation of who he is?

I think as soon as we have our idea of who Jesus is locked away in our minds we start worshipping an idol. We must avoid the temptation to ‘create God in our own image’.

We will never get a true handle on who Jesus is this side of eternity.
