Resurrection Week Day 2 Answer

Matthew 21:10-11 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” 11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
 
A great crowd was praising Jesus as he entered into Jerusalem. The Passover was beginning, and it was a time for the Jews to remember this week-long festival to celebrate their salvation from Egypt’s slavery. It had happened before in Jerusalem’s history that Messiah pretenders had ridden in similar style. 
    As Jesus rode amid the celebration, those who did not know him asked the very good question, “Who is this?” Certainly they needed to know of the man who was being praised and, it seems, even worshiped.
    Then Jesus’ followers responded with words that define Jesus’ ministry in many ways. “This is Jesus the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” In essence these words say, “This is the one who has taught magnificent truths of the Kingdom of God. This is the one who has raised the dead – even 30 days before this he raised Lazarus in nearby Bethany. This is Jesus who fed thousands upon thousands of people with a few loaves and fish. This is Jesus who said, “I AM the Light of the World, the Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Living Water, the Gate, the Bread of Life, from above, not of this world, the Son of God and I Am.”
    Yes, this is Jesus – Savior born in Bethlehem - who is greater than Moses. This is Jesus who said he has come to save the lost. This is Jesus who has preached repentance for the forgiveness of our sins. This is Jesus who commands us to love God and love others - even our enemies. This is Jesus the Passover Lamb come to take away the sins of the world. This is Jesus, who is the Son of Man, to come on the clouds one day in victory over death.”
    Who do you say Jesus is? How does your confession impact your life?
