Jesus in His Own Words
People have different opinions of who Jesus is. Some think He was a good person, others think He was crazy, others see Him as God. Whose opinion should we take? Let’s take Jesus at His word and take His opinion of who He was. Each week we will focus on a different statement Jesus made about Himself Jesus wants us to know who He is and why He came down to earth. You may not realize it, but your view of Jesus impacts your life everyday (and how you live it). Who is Jesus? Let’s explore what Jesus said about Himself. Let’s explore the red letters (Jesus’ own words).
