Why Jesus
Series: Colossians
The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record Jesus asking his disciples who people think Jesus is. They tell him what they've heard and then Jesus asks them, "Who do YOU say that I am?" That question is the heart of theology and it's a question that every person needs to think about and answer. Colossians tells us the answer plainly saying that Jesus is God in person.
