Title: Who Is Jesus
Woman: I'd put him on the level of Gandhi or
someone like that.
Man 1: Isn't he the one some of those weird
cults talk about just
before they commit suicide?
Man 2: If you ask me, he was just a myth
created by someone's delusion.
Woodrow Kroll: Everyone seems to have an
opinion of who Jesus was.
Even many so-called experts don't seem to
agree. Interestingly, the same confusion
that often clouds our thoughts today troubled
many at the time of Jesus. People
argued over whether or not His miracles were
real and whether he was the Messiah
or a lunatic.
Jesus heard what the crowds were saying, and in
Matthew 16:15 He asked his
disciples, "Who do you say that I am?"
Peter's response? "You are the Christ, the Son
of the living God."
Peter knew the right answer because he knew
Jesus. There was no question in
his mind--Jesus was the Christ.
You may still have questions about who this
Jesus was. To answer them, you
need a reliable source. You need to study
God's Word. Why not begin by looking
at this portion in Matthew 16. Examine
closely verses 13-20. As you do, you'll
come face-to-face with who Jesus is. And when
you meet Him, He'll change your
life.
