Who do You Say Jesus is?

N.T.#121 "Who do You Say Jesus Is?"

August 2, 2023 

Matthew 11-Part 5

LET IT GLOW

The disciples departed on their mission and Jesus spoke with the multitudes concerning John. He asked them questions:

• What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see?
• Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind?
• Or were you expecting a man dressed in expensive clothes?
• Were you looking for a prophet?

What do we look for in a Savior? Is it one who never leaves us nor forsakes us? Is it one who loves us unconditionally? Is it one who is forgiving, strengthening, providing?

Who do you say Jesus is?

Jesus is the Messiah, Son of the Living God, Redeemer and Savior, our only way to heaven, The Truth.

LET IT GROW

Who did Jesus say John the Baptist was?

• Certainly, he was no reed swaying in the wind, tossed around in every wind of doctrine. 
• He stood firm in his beliefs. John was a kingdom man, urging sinners to repent. (chapter 3)
• He was a prophet unintimidated by religious leaders or a king. ((3:7-10)
• He was God's chosen messenger to prepare the way for Christ. (verse 3)
• He boldly proclaimed God's Word and faced violent opposition. (verses 12-14)

I wonder how Jesus describes you and me to the Heavenly Father. 

LET IT GO

Help our faith to not waver, Jesus.

Use us for kingdom work.

To You be glory, honor, and praise.
