The Words and Ways of the Son of God
Matthew 11:3
“Who is Jesus?”
This question is one of the most important we can ask ourselves – or others. Either Jesus was the greatest hoax of all time or He was, in fact, the Son of God, the world’s savior. Everything about your life hinges on the answer to this simple question, “Who is Jesus?”
Over the next few months, we will examine the WORDS of Jesus in Matthew 11 and the WAYS of Jesus throughout the New Testament. We’re starting with Matthew 11 because John the Baptist expresses some doubts in this passage. So he sends a message to Jesus saying, “Are you really who you claim to be?” The rest of the chapter is Jesus’ answer to that question.
The modern-day relevance of Matthew 11 is profound. Denver’s Front Range urban corridor is also teeming with doubters. Many had been okay with their childhood understanding of Jesus, but then grew up and experienced the complexities of real life. Now they doubt or even deny Him today. They say with John the Baptist, “How do we know you’re the one you say you are?”
We pray that as we examine scripture, we’ll discover Jesus as KING – the visible image of the invisible God!
