Brokers of Christ

Breaking news!

Jesus has returned! 

But Jesus is not welcomed by the mainstream church authorities and He is denied by charlatans of prosperity gospel. The mainstream church has become lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. The proliferators of prosperity gospel have invented a counterfeit Jesus. The proliferators arrests and imprisons Jesus, condemning him to die.

Why? The church has shifted course. The mainstream church has forgotten Jesus. The prosperity gospel church has invented a counterfeit Jesus! They have decided to meet instinctual human cravings, rather than calling men and women to repentance. It has decided to bend its message to felt needs, rather than calling forth the high, holy, and difficult freedom of faith working through love. Jesus’ biblical example and message are deemed too symbolic and very hard for weak contemporary souls. The church has decided to make it easy by developing a counterfeit gospel, a gospel designed to cater for human earthly needs – Money, limousines, luxurious lifestyle and etc.

The brokers of Christ representing the voice of this misguided church, interrogates Jesus in his prison cell. They side with the tempter and the three questions the tempter put to Jesus in the wilderness two centuries ago. They say that the church will give earthly bread instead of the bread of heaven. It will offer religious magic and miracles instead of faith in the Word of God. It will exert worldly power and authority instead of serving the call to freedom.

“We have corrected Your Work,” the brokers tell Jesus.

When the judge asks “which one should I set free”,

The foolish mob with the aching ears asks for the prophets and prophetesses who were jailed for defrauding the multitude by claiming to cure AIDS and multiply their wealth released and demand the hanging of Jesus. 

They sentence Jesus to die by hanging.
