The chief priests and elders approached Jesus with questions about the source of His authority, but what they really wanted to know was His answer to the question of identity. They specifically wondered if He believed He was a prophet from God, or the promised Messiah.

When it comes to our faith relationship with God, the question of identity is crucial. Like those chief priests and elders, we are invited to wrestle with the question, Who is Jesus? Perhaps an even better question for us to consider is this: who is Jesus revealed to be through the Gospel accounts?

Please take a few moments to check out the course resources.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Many Blessings!

Matthew 21:23 When he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?" (NRSV)
