Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Unexpected Truths: The Son of Man is God

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say I am?” 
 

It’s the most important question in the world, and it is a question every human being must answer. 
 

Sadly, the answer many give may be dead wrong. 
 

Some in Jesus’ day thought he was John the Baptist. Some thought he was the prophet Elijah who had come back from the dead. Today plenty of people believe that Jesus existed. They think that Jesus was a wise teacher or a role model for love. Both answers are expected. Both miss the main point.
 

Jesus is a real human being, the Son of Man. He is also Lord and Savior, the Son of the living God. This unexpected truth is the core of saving faith.
