There used to be a game show on television.  Three men would sit at a desk.  It was proposed that one of them was in a certain unusual occupation.  The contestants would ask one question at a time trying to determine which one was the real thing.

At the end of the show the moderator always said, will the real ‘Mr Jones’ please stand up.”  I remember that we were always surprised.

Today many religions present themselves as did these men in the game show.  They leave it to the public to ask questions.  The end of the game is yet to be seen.  But billions will be surprised.

What is the difference between the Son of God, Jesus, and all these other religions?  The answer we are all looking for is summed up in one word: Eternity.

We are all looking for the one who has answers toward the eternal God.  We are looking for the one who has the authority to speak.

The impostors will say they know.  But they will refer to a writing or some earthly teacher.  Many will accept such men because they have some measure of truth.  But if these contestants were to consider exactly what they need to find, they would abandon these Impostors with haste.

Jesus is the only man, ever to have lived among us, who can rightfully make a very special claim.  He not only knew what was written about the Father.  And he not only had the full measure of the Father’s Spirit upon him.  He had lived with the Father for eternity before he appeared to us in flesh.

Consider the following words of the Lord Jesus.

“And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” ( I would give you the verse, but I think we learn more when we have to go find it ourselves)

By writing this post I have asked the question for all of us before the show is over.  “Will the real Jesus please stand up.”
