"You can never be too young, too old, too smart, too dumb, with hair too long, or hair too short, to answer the question, Who is Jesus?" said Dad yesterday morning in his sermon, "Jesus: The Messiah" (Mark 8:27-30). If you've been following my Daddy's Daughter posts as Dad has preached through Mark, you'll know that the purpose of this series is to discover the answer to the question Who is Jesus?
So Who is Jesus? Many answers have arisen over the years. Some have said He's a good teacher. Others have called Him a moral man, Who taught some good life lessons. Still others have claimed He's a mad man, the leader of a cult. Some have even called Him a prophet.
"But Who do you say I am?"(Mark 8:29)
Is Jesus just a good teacher? Just a prophet? Just a moral man? Or is He something more? Is He the Son of God? (Mark 1:1) Is He the Lamb of God? (John 1:29) Is He the Messiah, the Christ? (John 1:41) Is He the Word? (John 1:1) Is He the image of God? (Colossians 1:15) Is He the Light of the World? (John 1:9) Is He sovereign? (1 Timothy 6:15)? Is He Creator (Colossians 1:16), Life-Giver (Mark 5:35-42), Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8), King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 17:14), Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23)?
