Have you ever had someone define your character and identity only to get it totally wrong? Of course you have. I'm sure for numerous reasons people misjudged you.
We live in a world inundated with countless religions and even bizarre beliefs. Many have accepted the historical accounts of Jesus. Many have misjudged who He really is. Some proclaim he was merely a great prophet, some a liar, some even a lunatic. There are also many who deny he ever existed.
Go back to my first thoughts. Who knows who your really are the most accurately? You do right? And probably those close to you that spend every day life with you.
If you want to get Jesus right, go straight to the source. His word, God's untainted unadulterated word, the Holy bible established by God, Jesus Christ, and those who did life by His side and in his presence.
Don't ever let misrepresentation, "new" revelation, or even false proclamation define who Jesus Christ really is.
1 John 4:1-6 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them.6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
