The Confession - Luke 9:8-26
March 15, 2011
Langdon Palmer plus Sarah Dickinson Testimony
Ever feel doubtful about saying Jesus is the only when there are so many other religions and good people in the world? How comfortable are you with your understanding of Jesus? Jesus looks at each of us and says "Who do you say that I am?" Today we look at the archeological and theological background to Peter's great confession "You are the Christ." We touch on the trap of those who try to get behind the gospels to the historical Jesus, and turn instead to the Jesus of the gospels, the Jesus that doesn’t fit, the Jesus that disturbs us, the Jesus of the gospels, the real Jesus -the pantocrator - the ruler of heaven and earth.
