Jesus' Identity & Mission
Gary DeLashmutt
Luke 9:18-36
Jesus' disciples expected Jesus to establish God's kingdom; however, before establishing God's kingdom, Jesus first needed to die for our sins. Through this event, God confirms that Jesus is indeed the Messiah, and that his death fulfills God's plan. Jesus asks of us, "Will you entrust yourself to me as your Messiah, and will you give your whole life to me and to my mission?"
