It is interesting that Jesus, the Messiah, came in humility but with the ability and purpose to save the world. Jesus was not the ‘King” they were expecting. However, he was the king that they needed. In this passage we find ourselves being clearly directed to the question “Who is this?” A great point of this reading is that we need to understand who Jesus is to us. Jesus makes very deliberate pre-planned claims in this passage in order to make it plainly clear who He is. Who Jesus is, is an eternal question, a question of eternal moment; a question of life and death. It’s the difference between heaven and hell. And He is focusing our attention on that question. He is asking you to sit here today and think, “Who do I really believe that Jesus is? Am I prepared to stake my life on who He claims to be?”
