How Dare He!

Scripture teaches us that Jesus claimed to be many things:

a. The fullfillment of Old Testament prophecies (Matt. 5:17)
b. The Son of Man ( Mark 8:31)
c. The Son of God (Luke 8:28)
d. The Messiah/the Christ (John 4:25)
e. Teacher/Master ( Matt. 26:18)
f. One with authority to forgive (Luke 7: 48,49)
g. Savior (Luke 19:10)

In John 5, Jesus claims to be the Son of God. This got under the skin of the Jewish leaders. How dare this man say He was God's Son. Oh, if they only knew that this was just the beginning of a changing world because of this Man, this Savior, this Forgiver, this Teacher.

How precious He is to each one who will trust Him to be their Savior. It's at that time He becomes your very best Friend.

Have a blessed week,

Pastor Gary
