There is a popular craze in Hollywood right
now among celebrities and that is to climb
aboard the Jesus bandwagon.
It's popular now for famous celebrities to talk
about their Jesus.
Hollywood Jesus is a mixture of Buddhism, Mormonism,
New Ageism, and Christianity all rolled into one.
Hollywood Jesus doesn't believe in an eternal hell
of punishment.
Hollywood Jesus is tolerant towards sin.
Hollywood Jesus just wants to make you happy
and take you to your version of heaven,
whatever that is.
Hollywood Jesus is like the Little Academy Award
Oscar statuette.
He's shiny and golden and prestigious to have.
You can carry him in your designer handbag
and pull him out as needed.
Hollywood Jesus is here to empower you to
be the best you can be for yourself.
But best of all, Hollywood Jesus won't get
in the way of your daily living.
The only problem with Hollywood Jesus is that
he's not the Christ of the Bible but
a god of the imagination designed to fuel
the egos of Hollywood celebrities.
Hollywood Jesus will let you stay unchanged in
your sins and give you as much of
the world as you desire.
Hollywood Jesus will let you sit on the
throne of your life, and he exists just
to serve you.
But the Jesus of the Bible is a
risen living Lord who sits at the right
hand of the Father on a heavenly throne
of authority, and he earned that right by
way of a bloody cross.
The Jesus of the Bible, who is the
Son of God, has rights and claims on
all followers of his, he declares in Matthew
16, 24, and 25.
If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose
it, and whosoever will lose his life for
my sake shall find it.
Hollywood Jesus is the devil disguised as an
angel of light who is full of pride
and wants to be worshiped.
The great God of the Bible will deal
with Hollywood Jesus on a future day fast
approaching when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed
from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming
fire, taking vengeance on them that know not
God and that obey not the gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the
Lord and from the glory of his power.
