Who Do You Say That I Am? (Luke 9:18-22) - 9/10/23

INTRO

  • Jesus is finishing His Galilean ministry

  • He is now on His journey to Jerusalem

  • His journey to the cross

  • He asks a very important question.

  • A question that needs to be answered.

THE CROWD


They had an opinion

  • John the Baptist, Elijah, a Prophet

  • Good man that has done good things

The believed in the person of Jesus

  • They followed Him.

  • They were looking for the Messiah

  • The moment the cross was in sight, they turned.

  • We cannot separate his suffering, death, and resurrection form His messiahship.

  • If we remove the WHY OF HIS DEATH… OUR SINFULNESS

  • Then we also turn Jesus into the WRONG JESUS

They were looking for healer and deliverer (From Roman rule)

  • Today… Looking for a BLESSING GIVER. HEALER, PROVIDER

  • While true, Jesus is SO MUCH MORE

“It is impossible to be wrong about who Jesus and right with God “ (Warren Wiersbe)

WE MUST GET JESUS RIGHT!


THE DISCIPLES


They had a conviction

Tell no one

  • The were looking for a cross less Messiah

  • The time was not NOW

  • He MUST first suffer on the cross

Isaiah 53:4-10

Truths to Consider

  1. True saving faith comes only through the person and work of Jesus Christ. This has been God’s plan of redemption from the very beginning.

  • One must believe on the person and trust in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sin and the giving of a new life. (His life, death, burial, and resurrection)

  • This belief is not just in the historical facts alone, but in Jesus as our personal Savior and Lord. (Our Mind and Our Heart are one)

  • Jesus always has been and always will be the answer to all the questions of life. The real, biblical, and saving Jesus.
