I saw a sports reporter for a local news channel at a Holidazzle parade.My son saw Minnesota Twins baseball player, Joe Maurer at our Cub foods store.
What do we do when we see a celebrity or someone famous?
We stare, perhaps get an autograph, or maybe photo.
Jesus Christ was the most famous person who walked on this earth and killed because He looked ordinary, but was extraordinary.
If the news, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, some or all the social media outlets said Jesus was going to be on the street just down the road from your house – what would you do???
People rushed to meet Jesus for different reasons. Most were trying to figure out who this guy was.
Matthew 16:13
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
