Lord Of All: Lord Indeed Series

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 18, 2012

Transfiguration Sunday: Who is Jesus? Maybe better asked, "Who is Jesus to you?" We fail to truly recognize Jesus when we don’t understand his full divinity and his willingness to suffer and die on the cross for our sake.
