Lesson 1: Who is Jesus Christ?

In Matthew 16:13, Jesus asked His disciples this all-important question: "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

The reply of the disciples in verse 14 gives us an idea of the people's confusion: "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Today, the situation remains the same. A wide range of answers would still be given to the same question. Someone may talk to you about Jesus Christ but maintain an unbiblical view of His Person.

It is imperative that we get to know who the Man-Christ is. The way we will relate to Him rests upon our concept of His identity and works.
