One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him, and he asked them;
Who do people say I am?Well, they replied, some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead
Then he asked them;
But who do you say I am?
Peter replied...
Luke 9:18-20 NLT
This is the pivotal question in the Bible...who is Jesus?
Is he a prophet, a wise teacher, or is he who he said he is...
With Jesus it's always personal...its not your family, friends or church, but what you think and believe that's important
Who do I say Jesus is?
If you're not sure, then now's a good time to find out, because in this question there's a lot at stake...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
