BIBLE STUDY #6
WHO IS JESUS?

Begin memorizing Philippians 2:10-11
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Matthew 16:13-16 --
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" He asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

It is very important to know who we believe in. If Jesus is ONLY a man or a teacher or a prophet or a philosopher, then our faith is in vain, but He is much more!
