Cross Examined || Ep 2: Why Jesus? || Jesse Dan-Yusuf

Liar, Lunatic or Lord? Sometimes called the Lewis' Trilema to illustrate that Jesus' claim to Lordship either made him a lunatic, a liar or Lord as He truly was. Jesus' statement in John 14:6, it seems, is one the statements the world has issues with. How can a man born in an obscure town, lived as a poor carpenter claim to be the Messiah prophesied about? In our Cross Examined sermon series, a journey into investigating the truth claims of Jesus and Christianity, it is important we weigh Jesus' statements and what He claimed to be. Since some secular sources prove the historicity of Jesus, we must ask and understand why this man claimed to be the Messiah and if we are to take him and his claims seriously. There's also lots of evidence and proof of the Resurrection, the Resurrection that birthed our faith. Because Jesus died, was buried and resurrected it proved him to be the Son of God and Saviour. And because of that we worship him and believe all his claims including him being "the way, the truth and the life". Why do we serve Jesus? Was he just a Good Teacher? Was he a liar, a lunatic or Lord?
