If you try to make your own "Jesus" it will let you down every time. Jesus is real, He is alive, and He is God. That means that we can't choose what He is, what He thinks, or what He says. We need to follow Christ instead of trying to make Him follow us and our own beliefs or preferences. If you want the power, fulfillment, love, joy, peace, and all of the fruit of the spirit that come from following Christ, you need the real Jesus. There is no substitute.
