Who Do You Say That I Am? What Jesus Said About Himself Part 7

What did Jesus say about Himself? In the final episode of What Jesus Said, we look at the direct claims Jesus made about His own identity — not the poetic I AM statements of John, but the confrontational statements that forced everyone around Him to make a decision.Who do people say the Son of Man is? And then: who do you say that I am? That question, asked at Caesarea Philippi, is the pivot point of Matthew's Gospel — and it has never been successfully avoided. Before Abraham was born, I am — the statement that made people pick up stones, because they understood exactly what was being claimed. I and the Father are one — again, stones, and the charge of blasphemy clearly articulated: you, being a man, make yourself God. The trial before the high priest: are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And for the first time without deflection — I am. His robes were torn. He was condemned to death for the answer. And the resurrection claim: all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.C.S. Lewis was right that the options are not as comfortable as popular culture suggests. A man who says these kinds of things is not leaving open the option of respectful admiration without personal decision. The claims are either true or they are not. And that is still the most important question anyone can ask.Who do you say that He is?📖 Scripture from the World English Bible (WEB)📺 Part 7 of 7 — What Jesus Said📺 https://www.youtube.com/@BibleChapterByChapterStudy🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGD🌐 www.biblechapterbychapter.com#WhoDoYouSayIAm #JesusClaims #WhatJesusSaid #DidJesusClaimToBeGod #BibleStudy #BibleChapterByChapter #Jesus
