Chris Staples asks if Jesus is a liar or Lord in his sermon on choices. He begins by sharing Matthew 16:13-17, where Jesus asks his disciples who they think he is. Peter answers correctly, saying that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Jesus then tells Peter that he is blessed because he has received this revelation from God.
Staples then goes on to share John 14:6, where Jesus says that he is the way, the truth, and the life. He says that no one comes to the Father except through him. This means that Jesus is the only way to salvation.
Next, Staples shares Matthew 12:30, where Jesus says that whoever is not with him is against him. He says that whoever does not gather with him scatters. This means that there is no middle ground when it comes to Jesus. Either we are for him or we are against him.
Finally, Staples shares Romans 10:9 and John 10:28. Romans 10:9 says that if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved. John 10:28 says that Jesus gives us eternal life, and that no one will snatch us out of his hand.
Staples concludes by saying that we must choose whether or not we believe in Jesus. If we believe in him, then we must confess him as Lord and follow him. There is no other way to salvation.
This is a powerful message that challenges us to make a choice about who Jesus is. Is he a liar, or is he Lord? If we believe that he is Lord, then we must live our lives accordingly.
