Jesus has been trivialized.

Controversial author and former megachurch Pastor Rob Bell has said he feels Jesus Christ has been trivialized in today's society, and people are abandoning the concept of adhering to a single religion.

The Christian Post today posted an interview with Rob Bell in which Bell claimed that Jesus has been trivialized.  He believes that people have moved beyond following just one religion and that some of the best followers of Jesus are actually people who would never call themselves Christians.

Well, for once I agree with Rob Bell.  Jesus has been trivialized.  Rob Bell and others like him have created a Jesus of their own imaginations who is absolutely insignificant to real life.  The Jesus they have imagined is a 21st century metrosexual.  He is a spineless wimp who held to no core beliefs beyond the command to love.  Their Jesus is no different than Buddha or Confucius. Their Jesus is trivial because it doesn't matter whether we really believe in him or not.

Their Jesus is not God in human flesh. Their Jesus is not the only Saviour of mankind.  Their Jesus is not the righteous judge who will on the day of judgment hold all men to account.  Their Jesus never said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No on comes to the Father but by me."  The real Jesus is never trivial because He is the only eternal hope for mankind.

Also - as an aside - the Christian Post makes Jesus trivial when it continues to consider the opinions and heresies of people like Rob Bell as worthy of being reported as "Christian" news.
"I think for many people, spirituality, religion, God, Jesus, whatever has been trivialized. I think we're way beyond one particular religion, we're about what does it mean to be human,"

Something a Little Deeper for Christmas

Why the Jewish Messiah is the Most Important Individual in History by   Eric Davis What Christmas commemorates is big for many reasons. With the incarnation comes the Savior. For those who repent, there is justification, adoption, redemption, reconciliation, regeneration, sanctification, and, one day, glorification. But if we back up a bit, with the incarnation, there is the arrival of the long-awaited Jewish Messiah. It’s difficult for a 21 st   century audience to appreciate the century-long yearning which the Hebrews had for the Messiah’s arrival. But why? What is the significance of the Jewish Messiah?

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
