There are people who say things like this.
Others have said that he’s a spirit being because they see in Jesus another realm, a tremendous thing that they love and appreciate.
But he’s a spirit being. Isn’t it interesting?
Jesus said, handle me and see for a ghost or a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bone like I have.
Hm. Some people say things like this. Jesus has come from the mothership.
You can buy books at borders.
You guys on this topic, Jesus has come from the mother ship. He represents an alien world.
Ok? People say that because they see in him a whole different dimension.
And so they come to that conclusion.
You gotta be careful when you reject what the Bible has to say about Jesus because once you do, you’ll be leaving the stupidest things, the world will spin and you’ll grab it sad.
Have you ever heard of the Maharishi me?
That almost hurt me to say it.
Maharishi MAOI declares that Jesus is in the long line of the enlightened masters of Eastern mysticism.
Hm, everybody has their opinion about Jesus.
And so he says, what are the people saying? What does Chino Hills say about Jesus.
What does Diamond Bar say about Jesus? What does your Belinda say about Jesus?
What does Chino say about Jesus? What does Pomona say about Jesus? What are the people saying?
What does America say about Jesus? Wouldn’t that? That’s a great question to ask America.
Put that out there. Look at what you get. Oh, you got to be amazing. Lord Mare.
His announcement is that he is Jesus in a long line of Jesus that come.
He’s just one more. Isn’t that interesting? Everybody has got something to say about Jesus.
Secondly, verse 19 teaches us that some people will say that he’s one of the ways to God.
Have you ever heard that? People will say things like this. There are many ways to God.
Now, technically, they’re exactly true.
Did you know that if somebody says all roads lead to God, this is true.

All roads lead to God.
It says in the Bible, every man has to stand before God in the end.
But you want, you want to be specific when you ask the question, what road leads to heaven?
And you get to stay there. See, all man must appear before God. All roads lead to God.
The Romans taught that all roads lead to God. True, but which one gets you into heaven?
That’s important. There are many ways to God.
People will say verse 19, it says that some of the people, it’s the response they said to Jesus.
John the Baptist, but some say Elijah, this is the word on the street, Jesus.
And by the way, the answer that’s given in the Greek is implying this, that when he asked them, who do the people say that I am?
This is what’s implied in the Greek language. They stood still the disciples and they hesitated.
Um Some say John the Baptist um some they’re hesitating, they’re thinking, I don’t know what, we don’t know what, but they hesitated.
What do the people say? What are they saying? I want to hear.
Now, Jesus being the Lord, he knew he’s drawing out of the hearts of the disciples.
A confession that’s going to be very important in our message because you could say this morning um uh those guys believe this about Jesus.
That group believes the other. Let me see, where am I, where am I at in all of this?
And the Lord would say, forget about those guys. What about you?
Have you noticed you guys according to the Bible and in our lives, the Lord always comes back to us.
What about you? That’s why he’s a personal savior. It’s very, very vital.
This is not a so to speak team effort that we enter the kingdom of God.
We are in the family of God loving on one another, knowing one another because it’s the name of Jesus and His blood that has set us free from our sins.
And we’re in the family of God. But listen, we don’t march in, into the group.
We’re, hey, we’re in the Calvary. We’re Calvary. We’re coming in. Oh, no, there’ll be none of that.
We’re the Baptist. We’re coming in. There’ll be none of that. I hope this doesn’t freak you out.
But you guys, you Methodist guys, you’re not gonna have a little group over there.
You’re not gonna have a little Methodist section. There’s none of that fleshly earthly division.
There won’t be a Calvary chapel section. The body of Christ is not divided men.
We divide the body, we do that. Well, they don’t worship the way we want them to.
So we’re going to form our own group. Which way do you baptize this way? That way or sideways?
Well, no, we don’t. We’re gonna form our own thing. Listen, we believe in the universal church.
We just disagree with the divisions that have led to the segmenting up of the body of Christ.
It’s just sad why? Focus on that stuff. Be quiet. Go tell the world about Jesus.
If we just lay down those peripheral issues that do not matter, they shouldn’t matter.
Look, I don’t care. You baptize somebody forward, you baptized some churches, baptized people for it.
I can’t even believe the question ever even came up in history.
You do it backwards or forwards. I don’t know.
Do you read the Bible upside down or? I don’t care, read the Bible.
How do you tell people about Jesus on one ft or do you use both feet when you stand to tell people about Jesus?
I don’t care if you stand on your head. Tell them about Jesus.
We get into these weird things and who do the people say?
Well, maybe he’s a great prophet verse 19 at the end, some say that he’s a great prophet And then he’s risen.
Luke chapter 12: verse nine says, but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
He’s not a prophet.
You can’t take that verse in Luke 12 verse nine and match that to a prophet who is Jesus Christ.
You have to answer my friend. Listen, Islam teaches that Jesus was a prophet.
Nothing more, nothing less that he was a prophet yet Muhammad is greater than Jesus and Islam.
Somebody’s right and somebody is wrong. Just remember this.
The Bible had said what it had said before Islam ever came along in the 600s.
That’s very important. By the way at home.
For those of you on Sunday night, you’re becoming experts on this and we encourage you to be here this coming night tonight at 6:00.
But last week, people were shocked in this church to find out that their seventh grade child’s social studies book here in our town is an indoctrination book entitled Across the Ages of Islam.
And it teaches that Muhammad is the great prophet and that Jesus is one of many prophets in your children’s textbook in this town.
Over 200 pages dedicated to Islam in your public school book.
In your seventh graders class, somebody’s wrong.
By the way, Islam teaches and you look at this, he’s just a prophet. Islam teaches.
Jesus is just a prophet and Islam is very, very passionate to say and he is not the son of God.
In fact, next week we’ll show you around the dome of the rock mosque written in Arabic is Jesus.
It doesn’t say it this way.
It says basically, I will come as close to as I can next week, I’ll give it to you. Exactly.
God is not begotten and neither does God have a son.
You know the dome of the rock I’m talking about, we’ll show it to you next week.
You know the shiny dome around it on that blue tile says, God doesn’t have a son.
Hey, if, if Islam says it, I’m going to believe the opposite. Think about that.
Why was that important to put it up in a building? God doesn’t have a son.
God doesn’t have a son. God doesn’t have a son because God has a son. He’s your savior.
Oh, he’s just a prophet. He can’t do that.
Uh Lord or lunatic, no prophet is the Lord Jesus Christ is savior, Lord King, the alpha, the omega the beginning, the end, the first and the last, the one who was, who is who is to come?
The Almighty. Our great says, Titus 2 13, our great God and savior, Jesus. Messiah Lord or lunatic.
That’s for you to decide he knew exactly who he was. And the Bible tells you exactly who he is.
What will you do with that? What are you going to do with it? It’s your choice.
First, John chapter two, first John chapter two verse 22 says, who is a liar?
But he who denies that Jesus is the Messiah.
He is anti Christ who denies that the father and the son, whoever denies the son does not have the father.
He who acknowledges the son has the father.
That’s what the Bible says, case closed because I believe the Bible Vitally important Philippians 211 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord not lunatic to the glory of God.
The Father. If these verses are not real, then I don’t want to live anymore. Come on.
What are we here for? If the Bible is not true, what are we here for?
Make some money, eat, drink and be married tomorrow? We die. Who needs it?
Your life has got a purpose. It’s in Christ. And the Bible says this acts 2 36.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.
Now, when they had heard these things, they were cut to their hearts and they said that Peter and to the rest of the apostles men and brethren, what shall we do then Peter said to them repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Wow, Jesus said in John 8 24, you will die in your sins if you do not believe that I am.
Wow. First John four verse one, beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits whether they are of God.
How do you, how do you test the spirits? How do you test what people say? Ok.
I’m gonna ask you again, the answers, the Bible, the Bible. OK. How do you test what people say?
Even that was weak and I even coached you. I gave you the answer.
Everything people say, everything that people say about spiritual matters, you judge it against the Bible.
Isn’t that what what Paul said in acts chapter 17 11, Paul’s preaching?
And he said, hey, don’t believe a word I’m saying, pick up your old testament and test it. Wow.
Do you love that? Test the spirits?
John says first John chapter four, whether they are of God or not, because many false prophets have gone out into the world and knock on your doors.
I’m at in that part by this, you will know them, know the spirit of God.
Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Messiah Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God.
And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus has come in, the flesh is not of God.
And this is the spirit of the anti Christ, which you have heard is coming and already now is in the world.
The movement of the anti Jesus or anti Christ spirit point number two.
And this is where we end this morning. What do you think about Jesus? My friend? It’s all vitally important.
What do you think about Jesus? Verses 20 to 22? Question? What’s your answer?
What do you think about Jesus? What is your answer? Verse 20? And he said to them?
But who do you say that? I am jot this down? Would you? What’s your answer?
Who is the biblical Jesus in your life? And I had to stress that biblical Jesus that’s important.
Who is the biblical Jesus in your life? Why do I write biblical?
Because Paul the Apostle warned that in the last days there will be many other gospels and many other Jesuses introduced to people which Jesus I’ve told you before.
I’ll say it again when someone says, I believe in God, ask them the question. What’s the question? Better?
Remember the question God, who? Oh, I believe in God, God. Who, which one ask them?
I believe in Jesus, which Jesus, you guys, I challenge you. Try this. It’s a great experiment.
Take it out of this place and take it to the laboratory. That’s the world outside these doors.
As people, when they say things I believe in God. I’m curious. You said that you believe in God?
I sure do God who listen to their answer? I believe in Jesus too.
Which Jesus do you believe in?
Because man, you know, in a month’s time, there’ll be at least two groups knocking at my door talking about a completely different Jesus.
Which one, the biblical Jesus is the one we’re interested in?
Big difference. And so who is the biblical Jesus in your life? Notice this?
It’s very simple, Jesus said, but who do you say that I am? That’s called personal application. Wow.
So church can I ask you? I mean, you don’t have to say anything right now.
But what if this building on such a beautiful day? The, the ceiling was opened up?
I wish we could do that. Like the stadium opens up.
Let’s in the heavens and you hear a voice. Who do you say I am?
And you say, man, I’m getting out of here, you can’t imagine.
There’s because if we’re going to imagine, let’s imagine. Big time. There’s major buff, huge angels at each door.
You’re not leaving and the voice comes down. Who do you say I am? You?
You know how like kids, someone ask the kids something and the kid turns to the parent like for the answer, you can’t do that.
You can’t look at one another, you can’t look at your husband. You can’t look at your wife.
You can’t look at the stranger next to you. You can’t look at me. I can’t look at you.
The voice comes. Who do you say that? I am? It’s not a group response.
You have to answer alone. Listen the same way you go to heaven alone.
You mean I can’t hold the hand of my husband going in. No.
What if we die at the same time? Nope.
You walk in with Jesus or you don’t walk in at all? Man.
That is so narrow minded. It sure is. It sure is. He only died once.
He’s not going to die again. He only rose once. He’s not going to rise again.
He doesn’t have to, I wonder why he said it’s a narrow way and few people find it is the biblical Jesus, your personal savior verses 20 to 21.
Peter answered and said to him, the Christ of God.
Matthew tells us that you are the Christ, the son of the living God. Peter Answers.
In fact, mark it down in your reference or your margins. It’s Matthew 16 versus 13-18. Listen to this.
It’s great. And when it came and when Jesus came to the region of Cesaria Phillipi, he asked his disciples saying, who do men say that I, the son of man am?
And so he said to them, some say, John the Baptist, some say Elijah or others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.
But Jesus said to them. But who do you say that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, you are the Christ, the son of the living God.
Jesus answered and said it and blessed. Are you Simon Barona?
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. But my father who is in heaven. Wow.
And I also say to you Peter on this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail church.
Pick that, put that picture in your mind. Remember what you saw at the beginning? We’re almost done.
Remember what you saw in the beginning of those temples.
When Jesus said in Matthew, the gates of hell will not prevail against my church.
The Jews would never go to that region of Israel because of its pagan presence.
They wouldn’t go that way. It was a defiled nasty region.
They wouldn’t go, what does Jesus do marches him right into the place?
And he says, remember who do they say that I am? Opinions?
But who do you say I am the answer for you personally?
Then he turns and says upon that confession that Peter made.
You are the Christ, the son of the living God. Peter God.
Jesus says to Peter, my father told you that that’s not from your own head.
My father gave you that, that’s awesome. And upon that rock, I will build my church.
What rock that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Why did he say the gates of Hell will not prevail?
Because the Jews wouldn’t go to that region because the Jews during jesus’ day called that hole that rock with that temple.
The gates of hell, this was a field trip engineered by Christ himself.
He took them right to the gates of hell and walked up there and they’re all shouting all these names.
All these people yelling Diana and Zeus and Jesus said, who do, who do you say I am?
And Peter says it and Jesus says, the gates of hell are not going to prevail against that truth, Peter.
And they all knew the gates of hell.
That’s this place representing all the gods of the world.
All the gods of the world will not prevail against his church, his bride.
Quickly. It’s this, it’s a wonderful declaration. It’s a declaration.
You are the Christ. The word in English is declaration.
It’s an emphatic public statement announcing a fact. Look at verse 21 22.
And Jesus said, the son of man, number one must suffer many things.
Number two, be rejected by the elders and the chief priest and the scribes. And number three be killed.
And number four be raised from the dead.
When Jesus said that he was the son of man, which is what Luke announces to him or end of him.
That title that is Jesus is in the gospel of Luke is basically this, I am the Messiah savior of your life.
I have come and I have assumed human form, human flesh.
I have the same pressures and tensions that you have when you step on a piece of glass or a thorn.
Jesus is saying, I feel the same pain that you do feel.
Can you imagine God putting on a human suit and feeling? What is that? That’s cold water.
Well, I don’t like it. Is that amazing.
God had never known what it was like to be slapped in the face before, but Jesus was slapped in the face and found out how that felt.
Why, why is he the son of man so that you could relate to him?
And you could understand that he relates to you.
