Introduction
Dealing with the most important issue in human history - who Jesus is
Most Americans claim to believe in God, but differ on who Jesus is
I work in a prison, which kind of microcosm of the pluralistic society that we live in
The world has many opinions about Jesus

You have to come to a place in your life where you really give this man Jesus your full attention and consideration.
That’s what Jesus is doing here with his disciples.
We have a decision to make about Jesus
Most important question we will ever wrestle with
Can’t stay on the fence

Liar, lunatic, or Lord
But how do we know for sure?
Because...
What do you say about Jesus?
God gives revelation about Jesus
True faith in Christ is a work of the Spirit (See Matt 16:16-17)
The nature of the new birth.
Spirit testifies to who Jesus is
The Specifics of the revelation.
Son of God, Son of Man, suffering, dying, rising
Revelation of Jesus produces self-denying love that forsakes the world
Disciples misunderstood the Messiah and the need to suffer
We often misunderstand what it means to be Christian
The way of the Christian is the way of the cross.
We must dethrone self
This shouldn’t be viewed as a legalistic asceticism (analogy of marriage)
Revelation of Jesus brings the Kingdom of God into our lives (27; )
The kingdom of God was inaugurated with Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection
His final appearance will bring about the restoration of all creation
But his kingdom comes to those who believe now, in part, through the Spirit.
His kingdom is righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit
Closing
Who do you say that Jesus is?
If he is Lord, God, and King then we must give him our hearts, our allegiance, our loyalty
He will empower us with his Spirit.
He will help us stand strong.
He will build his church on the revelation of who he is.
And as we persevere through the way of the cross we will be able to stand before him unashamed.
