Who Is Jesus?
Jerry N Watts
Matthew 21:1-11 / Matthew 16:13-17
Today is the day recognized as "Palm Sunday." It's bears this name because it's the last Sunday before RESURRECTION DAY. Let's read about it. (Matt 21) Obviously, this was a huge event. Verse 8 says, "A very large crowd" and verse 10 offers this, "The whole city was shaken." This was not a small event, but a big detail here is often overlooked.
WE see it in verse 10, "The whole city was shaken saying (or asking), "Who is This?" Why in the world did they gather by the hundreds and perhaps thousands and make such a noise, if they didn't know who Jesus was? We think that doesn't make sense.
Today, many gather in church buildings on mornings like this, have attended worship all their lives, and still don't understand or comprehend who Jesus is. For many, Jesus is defined as a good man, a good teacher, or a prophet. Based on the words of Jesus found in the Bible, this is incomplete, inadequate, and inaccurate.
What people think of Jesus is more than a little important because it matters to Jesus. Turn to Matthew 16 and let's read. (VS 13-17) Let's Pray.
Emerson Eggerich begins his "Love and Respect" marriage seminar with this humorous but true statement: "Men and women use the same words, but they mean entirely different things. For instance, a woman says, I have nothing to wear. She means, "I have nothing new to wear." A man says, "I have nothing to wear." He means, "I have nothing clean to wear." I offer this because people have a way of using the same words while meaning entirely different things.
When it comes to "Jesus" or "Jesus Christ", people, groups, and denominations, use His name meaning entirely different things than the Bible clearly teaches. This requires us to ask two questions of vital importance and truth. The first question is the question asked in Jerusalem and is our message title, "Who is Jesus." It is a vital question and must be answered Biblically. The 2nd ...
