We tackle just one question in this message, but it's a good and important one because it gets to the heart of the gospel and the true identity of Jesus of Nazareth. The question is: Abraham is visited by three men at Mamre (Genesis 18). The speaker is called “Lord.” Who is this and who are the other two men? Was “Lord” Jesus or had God taken on human form?
