Whom Say You That I Am?
What if truly understanding the identity of Jesus Christ could transform your life in profound ways? Our latest episode takes you on a spiritual journey, starting with a powerful sermon by Daniel Johnson at Valley Gospel Church. Through a thoughtful exploration of Matthew 16:13-17, we challenge the common notion of Jesus as merely a good man or prophet and encourage you to seek a deeper, more personal relationship with Him. Discover the divine truth of Jesus as the Son of God and explore how this realization can reshape your spiritual understanding and daily existence.
Witness the remarkable story from John 9, where Jesus heals a man blind from birth, illuminating His divine mission and challenging the spiritual blindness of those around Him. As we retell this transformative miracle, we delve into the reactions of the Pharisees and the community, highlighting the resistance to accepting Jesus' true identity. Reflecting on insights from historical figures like John the Baptist and narratives of faith from across the Bible, we consider Jesus' pivotal role in divine revelation. The episode invites you to recognize Jesus not just as a prophet, but as the very essence of God's ultimate message to humanity.
Finally, we celebrate the boundless and continuous love of God in the chapter "Deeper Still," where faith and worship become a journey towards an ever-deepening connection with the divine. Through the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit, we are encouraged to immerse ourselves in spiritual insight and express gratitude through prayer and song. With heartfelt reflections on the joy of praising the Lord, we explore the transformative power of faith, trust, and harmonious praise in our daily lives. Join us for an enriching experience, as we seek a deeper connection with the divine through understanding, worship, and song.
Not because of you, but because he is good and you will not have room to receive Him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Our sole mission is to present the living truth of a risen Lord Jesus Christ to a remnant church and a lost world.
Speaker 2:So let's go into the service recorded live at Valley Gospel Church.
Speaker 3:Bring the first message of 2025 and, my goodness, I never thought I'd even say that here. Daniel Johnson, whatever God's given you, daniel, All right, you hear me.
Speaker 4:Ah, there we go. We'll get her Sammy, we'll get her buddy. Yeah, all right, let's get this going here. All right, Happy Sunday, everybody. We'll get this. I'll pray and then we'll get into this. This was a crazy whole journey here, once again with the Lord for this message. He's amazing and it's just the tip of the iceberg with the vastness of what we're going to get into today. There's just so much. So we'll just start see what the Holy Ghost got and we'll just keep rolling with Him and see what he does.
Speaker 4:Amen, amen, all right, father, thank you so much for this day. Thank you for everything that you do for us. You're awesome and amazing. Father, I just stand before you and I come humbly, bowed before you. I ask you to use me, mighty for your ways. Father, I surrender to you. Speak through me, father, you know I want to lead everybody closer to you. I pray, father, that you help me. Don't lead anyone away from you, father. I want to lead them to see you, to show you for your glory and honor. Father, I pray that you help me discern and rightfully divide your word to your children. I pray for all of us, father, that it would reveal more of you to us, lead us closer to you, father, and I pray for all your children here today, all of us, that it would open the ears of our hearts, that we could see what you're saying, dive into the scriptures, your breath on paper, and get closer to you. Father. We love you and we thank you for everything. In Jesus' name, we pray Amen, amen, amen. All right, let's see.
Speaker 4:So, since Jesus came on the scene, everybody was always wondering and trying to figure out who Jesus was right. And it's still the same today. Everybody says that Jesus is this or Jesus is that, but he isn't God. He's a good man, he's a prophet, he's a good teacher, but he's not God. Jesus never said that he was God, did he? Well, we're going to dive into the word of God today, his breath on paper, and see just exactly who Jesus is and who God, the Holy Ghost, says that he is.
Speaker 4:We just celebrated Christmas, and Christmas is all about Christ. He is our high priest and king. He is the master, the bridegroom, the good shepherd and the holy one of God. He is Emmanuel, god with us, and they call him Jesus. John said he was the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. The wise men called him the King of the Jews, the demons called him the Holy One from God. The woman at the well said come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ? And Thomas doubting Thomas probably my favorite one called him my Lord and my God my favorite because it's personal.
Speaker 4:It's exactly how you will feel and what you will say when you realize oh my, he is who he said he is. When you have that aha moment with the Lord. We all have doubts and struggle with understanding with the Lord, we all have doubts and struggle with understanding, and if maybe you haven't had that moment with the Lord yet, that I'll encourage you to lean in. He's not hiding, but you have to seek him from your heart. You have to dive in and make a decision that I want to personally know you Lord, not just hear about you from someone else, and that's part of the new covenant. He brought us on the cross a personal relationship with him, one-on-one. I don't have to go through someone else. He died for me and I want to know him. If that's you, then the same way as you get to know someone around you is the same way you get to know him. When you want to know someone, you have to spend time with them, listen to what they say, talk and hang out with them. That's the same with the living God. Spend time with him and read his word. That's how you get to know him. His word is called the living word for a reason and you'll find out. And if you don't like reading, ask him to help you with that and start, and he will give you a desire for his word. You will love it. So who is this Jesus? Is he God, a good teacher? Did he say that he was God? Let's find out.
Speaker 4:And our opening scripture is going to be in Matthew 16, 13 to 7. And then, after this, the rest we're going to pick up. It's going to be mainly in a story in John 9. But Matthew 16, 13 to 17,. Whenever you get there, stand for the reading of God's word, please. All right, matthew 16, 13 to 17.
Speaker 4:And it said when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea, philippi, he asked his disciples saying who do men say that I, the son of man am? So they said. Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. He said to them but who do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered and said to him Blessed are you, simon Barjona, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father, who is in heaven. Amen, you can be seated. And that's where the title comes from today, the King James version of that. Whom do ye say that I am? Whom do ye say that I am? So? Who did Jesus say that I am? So? Who did Jesus say that he was?
Speaker 4:We're going to look at the whole story of the blind man healed in John 9 to see that's what we're going to be talking out of today. But Jesus had been in a couple different conflicts with the Pharisees and with the religious leaders already, so they knew of each other. But to show you where the Pharisees' heart was, so that you can understand where they're coming from and why Jesus said and did some of the things he did and the way they thought, kind of like their heart condition, I want to read you and you don't have to turn there, you can go to John 9, but I want to read you something in Luke 18 real quick. I'm gonna read you this real quick, and it's Luke 18, 9 to 4. Also, he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others. Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself. God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I possess, and the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast saying God, be merciful to me, a sinner, I tell you, this man went down to his house, justified rather than the other, for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Speaker 4:Now in John 9 is an amazing story we're going to dive into and I'm going to. I'm going to try to read through the whole story, give you an idea, the whole story, what's going on, before I dive off into all kind of different directions. I'm going to try to ask the Lord to help me stay on point, because there's there's so much here. I don't want to dive off and try to confuse the story. So I want to get the story, so you've got it, and then at the end I'll go through and kind of show you what's all going on and break it down. So, holy Spirit, help me not confuse the situation and say it plainly. Alright, so John 9.
Speaker 4:Jesus was walking with his disciples and passed a blind man who was blind from birth. His disciples asked him who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind. In verse 3 to 5, jesus said neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of him who sent me. While it is day, the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Jesus said it wasn't from sin but so that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Speaker 4:And trying to describe I wasn't going to write anything about this section right here, just to try to, but I can't not say anything to describe the magnitude of this one little section here and, like Jamie said this morning, with the revelation of Jesus, with that moment you know what I mean that moment when she sat at Jesus' feet. This is one of those moments. So this moment, the magnitude is so massive. It's hard to put into words that this man's whole life was about to change. But it wasn't just his life. This was a moment where God was revealing to him and to all of us, his son, who Jesus was. He was revealing to us Jesus, not just another prophet, another teacher, somebody who said they believed in the Lord. This story is God revealing who Jesus is to us. This moment is huge and it's like, it's kind of like.
Speaker 4:You remember John the Baptist, when Jesus said that he was the greatest prophet that ever lived. Right, and you're thinking well, moses, abraham, elijah did he heal more people than Elijah and Elijah? Like there's so many the prophets did so much stuff. Is John better? He was? God was saying that because he was better, because of his proximity to Jesus. It's all on Jesus. All those Old Testament, the whole history up until this point, the whole world, this big world, was for this one moment. It was for this. 33 years that was actually only three years that he preached. Everything was for this moment.
Speaker 4:This man was blind, his life for this moment, for this moment, right here, so that Jesus, so that God could show us Jesus, his son, who he is and what he can do. It's hard to put into words the magnitude. You know what I mean. Like John the Baptist was great because he got to prepare the way for Jesus. All they before him prophesied about this moment. They were a glimpse or a shadow. They saw something or had a type of a little thing of Jesus. John the Baptist got to see him face to face, got to touch him, got to know him physically and got to prepare the way for him, to lay it out for him. That's the magnitude of this situation, in this story.
Speaker 4:After Jesus said this, he made clay and anointed the man's eyes with it and told him to go wash it off in the pool of Siloam. The man went and came back and he could see. Then his neighbors and all those who knew that he was blind said Isn't this the man who was blind? And begged. Some said this is he and others said I don't know. It looks like him. Then he said where is he? He said I don't know.
Speaker 4:Then they took the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees. Now it was the Sabbath that Jesus made the clay and anointed this man's eyes. Then the Pharisees also wanted to know how can you now see? So he told them the same story and some of the Pharisees said that Jesus couldn't be from God because he doesn't keep the Sabbath. Others said how can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was division among themselves. Then they asked the man who was healed, who do you say that Jesus is? And he said a prophet. You say that Jesus is? And he said a prophet. See, up until this point in history there was no higher position that he knew of that he could call Jesus. Up until this point, a prophet was the highest, it was the closest you could get to God as a man. He didn't know anything, so he called Jesus the highest he could think of at that time. And it was a prophet Because there was nothing higher or closer to God as far as he knew, so far as he thought. But that's part of his blindness and all of their blindness for that matter, and it's still a problem today. But Jesus is about to address and change that forever Now.
Speaker 4:The Jews didn't believe that this man was born blind. So they called his parents to ask them. And they asked his parents if this was their son and if he was born blind, then how can he now see? His parents said this is our son and he was born blind. But how he now sees we don't know. He's old enough ask him. So the Jews already decided, if anyone says that Jesus is the Christ, that they would put him out of the synagogue. So Jesus was already going around stirring up the water between them and himself. You could say that they've already met, that they knew each other. So they called the man who was blind and said give God the glory. We know this man. Jesus is a sinner, see. They didn't mind that he called Jesus a prophet, yet as long as he was given glory to God and not calling Jesus the Christ or Messiah. But Jesus is about to distinguish himself or sanctify himself.
Speaker 4:Then they asked the blind man yet again what happened. And he argues with them and says why do you want to hear it again? He's irritated with them. I think a little bit and says why do you keep asking me and his next statement is just boy, to be there to see that? He said do you also want to be his disciples and man for being blind, he could see pretty good, but I would have loved to have been there to see their faces when he asked them do you also want to be his disciples? That would have been something. Apparently, jesus healed his eyes pretty good because he could see quite well. He had to know that this wasn't going to go well and it didn't.
Speaker 4:The Bible says that they reviled him after that and they said to him you are his disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. We know God spoke to Moses. As for this fellow, we don't know where he is from. Then this man who was born blind said this is a marvelous thing that you don't know where he is from. Yet he opened my eyes. Now we know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper, that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he hears him Since the world began. It is unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. If this man were not from God, could he do these things? This right here should have been their aha moment, or at least their moment where they stopped and said let's evaluate the situation, see what's going on. Think about this for a minute, maybe pray about it. But, as we read earlier about their heart condition, they responded in like manner. They missed their moment because of their pride and said to him you who was completely born in your sins and now you're going to teach us. And they threw him out. They made their decision and now, by rejecting Jesus, they are rejecting God. Stay with me on this. We're coming back to this one.
Speaker 4:But Jesus finds the man that was blind and says Do you believe in the Son of God? Jesus opened his physical eyes Now he's about to open his spiritual eyes and he answered and said who is he, lord, that I may believe in him? Jesus said. Then he said Jesus, lord, I believe, and he worshipped Jesus. Jesus opened this man's spiritual eyes to see that he was more than a prophet. He was the Son of God. Jesus, by saying this, was claiming the same nature as God. That's what son of God meant. Jesus was making himself equal with God, saying that he came from above as one with his father, and the Jews and the Pharisees knew exactly what he was saying and that's why they wanted to kill him. Jesus was claiming to be more than a prophet, and this is still the same problem we have today People still not believing who Jesus is. And listen to how he finishes this in verse 39.
Speaker 4:In verse 39, jesus said For judgment. I have come into this world that those who do not see may see and those who see may be made blind. Think about the blind man who couldn't see, physically or spiritually, just like a lost sheep. Then the Pharisees and the religious leaders who boasted in how well they could see or how well they said they knew God and his ways. The Pharisees heard these words from Jesus and said are we blind? Also, jesus said if you were blind or like a lost sheep, you would have no sin. But now you say we see, therefore your sin remains. Jesus was saying the blind man couldn't see, he wasn't shown, he didn't know. Know who Jesus was. Remember. That's why Jesus said he came so that those who do not see may see and that those who see may be made blind. If you were blind or ignorant, it wouldn't be sin, but since you say you know and you can see, therefore that sin remains.
Speaker 4:The Pharisees and religious leaders said that they could see, they knew God, they knew his ways, they were close to him, yet they rejected Jesus. So they were blind and their sin remained. Jesus became a blindfold to them. All these things Jesus was doing in front of them, telling them, showing them plainly who he was. Jesus says and you say that you see, yet you reject me. The sin that remains is unbelief. It's unbelief in Jesus, the one. God sent God's revelation of himself. And Jesus is the only one who takes away the sin of the world. And if you don't believe in and it's exactly the same today, george Whitefield said Was it possible to take this away? The gates of hell would quickly prevail against it.
Speaker 4:When Jesus told the blind man he was the son of God, he was clearly stating that he was more than a prophet or a teacher. By Jesus saying he was the son of God, he was saying he was equal with God, divine, just like God. And CS Lewis put it like this he said when you beget something and remember, jesus is the begotten of the Father, the only begotten when you beget something, you beget something of the same kind as yourself, right? So when Jesus said he is the begotten of God, he is the only one begotten of the Father, he is of the sameten of God, he is the only one, begotten of the Father. He is of the same kind as God, right the same nature, which is divine. Both of them equal nothing less from all eternity. None of the prophets claim to be God or take away sin.
Speaker 4:God changed the entire game right here with Jesus. He changed everything Once Jesus came and was revealed. Now our faith is in him. That's the way God made now. It was always faith in God, even from back in the beginning, which was evidence in your believing his revelation at the time where you lived.
Speaker 4:Like the Old Testament prophets, god chose to reveal himself through them and the people chose God and exercised faith in God by following and obeying who he sent, the prophet right. That's why remember when Preach talked about the people rebelling against Moses and Aaron at Korah, korah and Dathan and all that they rebelled against Moses and Aaron. God's chosen at that time to speak and reveal himself to the people. Moses was the chosen ones from God, moses and Aaron. God's chosen at that time to speak and reveal himself to the people. Moses was the chosen ones from God, moses and Aaron. So Moses tried to tell them you're not coming against me, you're coming against God, right. But they didn't listen and it was the same. Rejecting God's chosen is the same as rejecting God. Then God opened up the ground and swallowed them. By rejecting who and how God chooses to reveal himself, you're rejecting God. So that's why Moses said you're not coming against me, you're coming against God. I didn't make this, this isn't me, this is him right. So how you respond to God revealing himself shows your faith in him and what you think about him, right.
Speaker 4:The Old Testament prophets were just a type or a shadow of the one to come, just a hidden glimpse. They had a characteristic maybe, or an attribute maybe, but all had fleshly problems and sinned, all fell short of God's glory. But Jesus wasn't a type of or one having a characteristic of. He was the fullness of the Godhead, the full picture of God, not a piece hidden anymore, and he didn't fall to the flesh Hallelujah. So right before this incident in John 9, jesus got into it with the Pharisees and religious leaders in John 8 too, and they told Jesus that Abraham is our father. Jesus said if Abraham was your father, you would do the works of Abraham. And Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad. The Bible said that Abraham believed God and rejoiced to see Jesus' day, because Jesus was the promised one, the seed, the promise from God to Abraham. And Abraham had said believe God and his revelation to him at that time and he rejoiced to see it. God gave him a specific vision of himself. He revealed himself to Abraham at that time in a different way, and Abraham showed his faith by believing God and his revelation. At that time, abraham believed God, believed the revelation that God gave to him for his generation and he rejoiced, which would be like accepting Christ, who is God revealing himself to us in our generation and every generation since Christ came.
Speaker 4:It's kind of like the story of Elijah too, right? So Elijah and the widow, woman that had no food left, right so God, she didn't know God, she wasn't an Israelite or nothing like that, but Elijah. God sent Elijah and then told her. Elijah told her that, thus saith the Lord, god of Israel, if you make this for me first, I'll make it so that your flour and oil keeps going. She listened to Elijah, proving that she trusted God, right, so she obeyed God's revelation to her at that moment, which was Elijah, right. So that's the same as going on with here Once God revealed Jesus to us that game. That's it. That's why they call Jesus the game changer. That's it. God revealed Jesus to us now, from the time, and he walked on the scene and was showing all these who he was. It changed the whole world. It didn't change one street. It didn't change one town, one city, one state. It changed the entire world. For history, it was all about that moment and then, from that moment, it changed everything before and after.
Speaker 4:Galatians 4 says that when the fullness of time was come that's what this is, the fullness of time God sent forth his son, and that's what this is all about. That's what John is trying to show us that Jesus is God, god revealing himself to us in the flesh, plainly. No more types, no more shadows, Just him. Jesus, the son of the living God, the Messiah, the Christ, has come. Now everything changes because God has revealed himself to us in the person of his son, and his name is Jesus. Amen. That's what John's trying to say. John 1 tries to show us the same thing, and let me read that for you John 1. Because this is amazing. What he says here.
Speaker 4:John 1 says in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him and without him nothing was made. That was made in him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shines in the darkness. That's just a massive, amazing statement. He was in the beginning with God and all things were made through him. John was saying God's word was with God in the beginning and that was Jesus. When God spoke his word, it performed an action. There's examples sprinkled through the Old Testament. But think about creation. God said let there be light, and then his word made light. John's saying God's word in action is Jesus. That's how everything was made through him, through Jesus. God spoke it and Jesus performed that action as his word.
Speaker 4:Think about this If you're looking at someone, you can't really know them if they never speak right, but when they speak, their words reveal to you more of themselves. They show you a glimpse of who they are. John was saying that God's word, that glimpse of who he is, is Jesus, and he's been from the beginning. Jesus is God's spoken word, who reveals to us who God is. John 1, 14 says that and the word became flesh and dwelt among us. John's trying to show all of us who Jesus is. And after this statement, you could say that in the beginning was Jesus and Jesus was with God and Jesus was God. That's what John is saying and that's what Jesus was saying.
Speaker 4:And the Pharisees, the religious leaders and all them around Jesus at the time all understood it plainly and that's why they wanted to kill him. I want to look at three statements between Jesus and the Pharisees and religious leaders. The first one is John 5 and 18. I'll read to you real quick. Therefore, the Jews sought all the more to kill him. That's Jesus because not only did he break the Sabbath, but also said that God was his father, making himself equal with God. See, they understood what Jesus was saying, that he was equal with God. Now John 19 and 7. Sticking together here for a minute not john 19 and 7 pilot said to them you take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. That's pilot. When they're on trial with Pilate, with Jesus and the Jews.
Speaker 4:The Jews answered him in verse 7 and said we have a law and according to our law, he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God. He made himself the Son of God, and then Matthew 26 and 62. And then we'll move on Matthew 26 and 62. And the high priest arose and said to him Do you answer nothing? What is it? These men testify against you. But Jesus kept silent and the high priest answered and said to him I put you under oath by the living God. Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him it is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you hereafter you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Jesus one-upped him again right there. With that, he said that he was the Christ, the Son of God, and he was also the Son of man, which they knew exactly what he meant by that.
Speaker 4:Everybody around Jesus back then knew exactly what he was saying, and I'll close with this in John 20, 30 and 31. 31. John 20, 30 and 31. And truly, jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book, but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing you may have life in his name. Amen. That's what this is all about. And that's what this is all about.
Speaker 4:If what Jesus said is true, that he is all those things and that he is the only way to the Father, to heaven, to eternal life, then if he is who he said he is, then every other way is a lie. He said I am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father but by me. So we all have to decide, decide. If what Jesus said is true, and if it is and you reject Jesus, then your sin remains and by rejecting the one God sent, you are rejecting God. Why can't there be more ways? Why do you have to say that if I don't come your way and believe your God, jesus, then I can't go to heaven? First off, it's not my way, it's God's way, and he wasn't my God either. I made myself my God until I met the truth. See, the truth separates, it divides. Like Jesus said, it judges. The truth judges against the lies. If 2 plus 2 equals 4, if four is true and that's the answer, then five, three, ten any other number you want to pick is wrong, it's a lie. The truth makes you decide. The truth shines a light on all the lies. The truth is the light that opens up blind eyes that can't see. Jesus is that truth and that light. Thank you, jesus, amen, amen.
Speaker 4:Jesus made the craziest, most amazing, awesome, huge and jaw-dropping statements about himself. Are they true? Cs Lewis said those statements are so crazy that he's either a lunatic or he's Lord. There is no in between. If his statements are true, then anything else is a lie. I had my Thomas moment on my kitchen floor with no one around, just him and me, and I said my Lord and my God, and he changed my entire life. So whom do you say that Jesus is? Amen, amen, thank you, thank you.
