    They believed Jesus was a bad man. That is scary. How could one behold Jesus, hear him teach, witness his miracles, and then conclude that “He is possessed by Beelzebul”?

    Who do You Say Jesus Is? this Is a very Personal Question. The question Is not who you think Jesus is, or what the world tells you who Jesus is, but rather who is He to you. Only God can reveal the true Jesus to you. Has He been revealed to you?

    Jesus asked a very deep question in today’s reading. He asked: “Who do you say that I am? That question is more relevant today than it ever was before. For many people, they see Jesus as a “Get out of Hell Free card.” They know all about Jesus, they know the Sunday School answers, they have the ...read more

    I want us to reflect on Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” We’ll see that when Jesus said “It is finished,” His ‘finishing’ was just the ‘beginning’ for you and Me.
