5 Teachings From Jesus Everyone Gets Wrong

The Bible is full of wisdom, but it is often misquoted and misunderstood. The same goes for Jesus’ words. While the teachings of Jesus only lasted around three years prior to His death, in that short amount of time a tremendous world of truth, myth, legend and superstition was built around Him. Even though Christians share a certain set of beliefs that they hold as essential to their faith, there are a wide range of interpretations and opinions when studying the Bible. Today, readers and carriers of the message often hear particular verses and passages in ways they were not intended to be heard. While the Bible is often quoted, it is just as often misquoted. The problem comes when people turn God’s word into a collection of quotes and one-liners and don’t pay attention to the context of the verse, or the history behind the text. Nothing’s wrong with connecting with a specific line of Scripture, but it’s important that you know what the verse really means, particularly if you are living by the Word and professing it to others. Here are five teachings from Jesus most people get wrong.
