Living in England for the first time as a Scot I am constantly surprised at the different views we have of history. A typical example is Mary Queen of Scots, for us as children she was portrayed a such a heroine, but clearly that is not quite the case here. my point is that it all depends on your viewpoint.

 

Jesus was very clear about his mission in his three short years of ministry, but those around him had such different points of view, Judas assumed he was the leader who would overthrow the Romans,and  the Pharisees saw him as a rebel rouser, a threat to the establishment.

 

Many today believe him to be a great teacher but no more than that. Jesus asked his disciples"

But what about you, who do you say that I am? Luke 9 vs 20

It is worth taking time over Lent to ask ourselves that question, who do we think Jesus is ?
