The way to truly expose a counterfeit is to focus on knowing the truth.

• Buddhism teaches that Jesus was not God, but an enlightened man, much like Buddha.
• Hinduism views Jesus as an incarnation of God, similar to Krishna.
• Islam acknowledges Jesus as a man and a prophet, but inferior to Muhammad.
• Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jesus was merely the archangel Michael, a created being who became a man.
• Mormonism teaches that Jesus proposed a better plan of redemption than his brother Lucifer and won the designation “Messiah.”
• New Age thinking considers Jesus Christ a state of consciousness we can all aspire to, regardless of whether He actually existed.
• Scientology claims that Jesus was an implant forced upon Thetan about a million years ago.
• Modern Western Culture often reduces Jesus to just a good guy, a great teacher who wants everyone to be happy.

The exclusivity of Jesus is not a license to judge or exclude; it’s a mandate to love and include.

The truth of the Gospel is too beautiful, too life-changing, and too important to keep to ourselves.

1. Multiple Independent Accounts: Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20
2. Inconvenient Truths: Matthew 28:1-10; John 20:11-18
3. Skeptics Turned Believers: Mark 3:21, 31; 1 Corinthians 15:7; James 1:1
4. Transformation of the Disciples: Mark 14:50; Acts 5:17-41; Philippians 3:4-11

The truth of Jesus isn’t just a belief; it’s a compelling call to action.
