Who is he?

Who is he? That is the fundamental question that the gospels seek to answer, who is Jesus. And that is still the fundamental question in our evangelism. We can answer peoples questions until the cows come home and it is important that we engage in that business of knocking down barriers. But the key question is who is Jesus?

So we want to get round to looking at the evidence for him which the gospels give us. What we must encourage people then to do is to decide for themselves who this man is; who stills the storm, feeds the hungry, raises the dead, casts out demons, teaches brilliantly, dies on a cross, and is raised to life again. Who is he?

And having realised who he is what are they going to do about it? Is it to reject him or to accept and follow him?
