Consider who Jesus really is

Read Mark 8:27–30. In this short passage, Jesus asks his disciples what other people say about him, and then asks:

“Who do you say I am?”

Think about the different impressions of Jesus you have encountered. He may have been described as a teacher, prophet, moral example, religious leader, fictional character or God.

Complete this sentence as honestly as you can:

“At this point, I think Jesus was ________, because ________.”

You do not need to give a Christian answer or even be sure of the words you choose. The purpose is simply to recognise what you currently think and why.
