The Ten-Cent Store Jesus

Unfortunately, the ten-cent-store Jesus being preached now by many is not the Jesus that will come to judge the world.




This harmless, plastic, painted Jesus who has no spine, nor justice, nor wrath but is a soft and pliant friend to everybody; if He is the only Christ, then we might as well close our Bibles, bar our doors and make a bakery or garage out of our church buildings!




The popular Christ being preached today is not the Christ of the Bible, nor the Christ who will be our final Judge.




Jesus Christ our Lord, the Judge with the flaming eyes is the one with whom we must deal. We cannot escape it.




[A. W. Tozer]






Revelation 1:14-16 … His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.




Revelation 6:15-17 … And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;  And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
