Son of Man
First, let’s read Matthew 16: 13-16
When Yeshua came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
They answered, “Some say John the Immerser, others say Elijah, and still others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
He said, “But who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Now, let’s take a look at a few things that set YESHUA apart as the Messiah!
First, His birth: He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was born in Bethlehem to a virgin named MIRIAM as prophesied.
He was tempted for 40 days in the desert relentlessly by Satan, yet He did not sin!
He showed us the love of our heavenly FATHER through everything He did while on this earth: healing people , raising the dead, and forgiving sins regardless of nationality!
Let’s read this part again: Matthew 16:15-16
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the MESSIAH, the Son of the living God.”
Many people say YESHUA was a prophet or a good teacher, but YESHUA was never merely human; He was fully GOD and fully man! This is the unique way GOD chose to demonstrate His eternal love for us!
