Friday Greetings - August 21

When Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" in Matthew 16, he isn't testing their theology. He’s asking for their allegiance.

We have a remarkable ability to deceive ourselves. We tend to create a Jesus in our own image, a Savior who validates our preexisting worldview. But when we compare our “personal Jesus” to the many scriptural depictions of the Messiah, we’re confronted by a Mystery Man who shatters our expectations. Join us Sunday as we explore the enigma of Jesus and consider how our beliefs about him shape the kind of people we become.
