What kind of man is this? The identity of Jesus - gospel readings

Bag om What kind of man is this? The identity of Jesus - gospel readings

During Jesus' ministry there was considerable ignorance, uncertainty, and disbelief in regard to his identity.He did not match the popular notion of the Messiah. And his humble Nazareth background did not suggest that he was a divine figure. Yes, he was an itinerant rabbi and healer and exorcist. But he seemed to be much more than that. So who was he?His family did not understand who he was (Mark 3:20-21; John 7:1-5). John the Baptist was unsure (Matt. 11:2-3). The disciples at one point wondered (Mark 4:41). The townsfolk of Nazareth were unable or unwilling to accept him as more than a local carpenter (Mark 6:2-3). People in Jerusalem were divided in their opinion (John 7:25-31, 40-44; 10:19-21). The authorities in Jerusalem were disbelieving (John 7:45-52). In this volume of readings we will survey some of the many facets of Jesus' identity which the gospels present. And in doing so, we will see anew who this flesh-and-blood divine person was to whom we belong.A refreshed knowledge and appreciation of those facets of his identity will surely lead to a strengthened faith, and a deeper communion with him, and a more securely based worship of him.Also, it will help us to follow the advice which Peter gave to "God's elect, strangers in the world" who were scattered throughout Asia Minor (1 Pet. 1:1).Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have(i.e. for the assurance you have of your future destiny) (1 Pet. 3:15).
