the real deal 10-21-2026

In a world of misinformation, product knock-offs and A.I. generated everything, how do you know the real deal? “Oh, it’s authenticated.” By who? “Money-back guarantee.” Ever heard of small print? In the meantime, we ask, “is this the real deal?” And if you are a follower of Jesus that’s being asked of you all the time! Because it’s through you and I Jesus is shown to be real. In the age of influencers some would say a good, moral life expresses the essence of following Jesus. But Jesus, and every New Testament writer says it’s not enough to “be good”, you must “do good”. (Matthew 5:16) let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Jesus shines brightest when his followers DO GOOD wherever bad corrupts. That’s the real Jesus.
