There are versions of Jesus that – on the surface – look like the real thing, however, upon closer inspection, they are exposed as counterfeits. Today we are looking at the counterfeit known as the “Everyman” Jesus. This is the Jesus who was exactly like us, just a better and more accomplished version than us. This version of Jesus is nothing more than a good example for us. We will contrast the “Everyman” Jesus with the “real” Jesus that is depicted in the Bible, and we will discover that the “Everyman” version falls far short of the real version.
