"Who Is Jesus?"
Matthew 16:13-16
Print 285, CT 109222
Who- was making history 2,000 years ago? Was it the Greek statesmen. or the
Roman senators? Probably very few of you, unless you are a historian, would know
their names. Or who was the Roman emperor 2,000 years ago? There is one thing for
sure- Everybody here knows who Jesus is. And He just lived to be, thirty-three years of
age; He was a carpenter's son; He was itinerant, moving around in one little tiny nation;

Jesus was with His disciples and they were in this town where on a hill there is a
temple built for a Greek god named Pan. In the presence of that temple and the people

places of commerce, industry, business, school. Wherever we are, we're out there
among the people and we listen. They were asking and Jesus asked, and sometimes
people ask us, "Really, who is Jesus?"
So He said, "What's the people's opinion?" So, they gave Him their opinion.
