In the final installment of the POV (Point of View) series, Pastors Daniel and Josh tackle the most important question any person will ever answer: Who is Jesus?

Notable Quotes
“If you get Jesus wrong, you get everything wrong.”
— Pastor Daniel
“Jesus doesn’t leave any middle ground. You either take all of Him, or you reject Him completely.”
— Pastor Josh
“Progressive Christianity offers a gospel without repentance. But Acts 4:12 makes it clear—there is no other name by which we must be saved.”
— Pastor Josh
“The question is not ‘Did Jesus exist?’ The question is ‘Was He right about who He said He was?’”

Scripture References
John 1:1-14 – “The Word was God… and became flesh.”

Takeaways
Christianity isn’t compatible with other religions—it stands alone because Jesus stands alone.
Many heresies begin by redefining Jesus. Stay rooted in Scripture and test every belief.
There is one gospel. And there is one Savior. Don’t settle for a version of Jesus that fits your comfort or culture.
The exclusive claims of Christ require an exclusive response—He must be Lord.
