Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
The true Jesus warned his followers that "Many will come in My name, saying, `I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.” (Matthew 24:5) This happens to be one of Satan’s favorite gaslighting techniques. Here are some examples of false Christs in our own day:
The generic “Jesus” is one of many paths to eternal life. If you try your best to live a good life, the theory goes, then trusting in Jesus, Allah, Vishnu, or any “higher power” are all the same thing in the end. But the real Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
The rule-maker “Jesus” is someone who helps you to become a better person, little by little, until you become good enough to enter heaven. But the real Jesus said "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28)
The life coach “Jesus” wants you to be rich, powerful, and always outwardly happy in this life. But the real Jesus said “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” (Mark 8:34)
The solution for this gaslighting is to know and trust in the true Jesus, the one who was crucified and raised to life again. His horrible death was your fault, for he took your sin and guilt to the cross. His death was the full payment for your sin, and the end of the devil’s power over you. His resurrection guarantees your own eternal life, just as he himself promised. Though you can expect trials and troubles in this life, the real Jesus said, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
Jesus! Name of wondrous love, name all other names above,
Unto which must every knee bow in deep humility.
Jesus! Only name that's given, under all the mighty heaven
Whereby man, to sin enslaved, bursts his fetters and is saved.
The Lutheran Hymnal 114:1,5
