Agitated and shaken - Who is this?


 "The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered. “Who is this?” they asked." - Matthew 21:10

When Jesus entered Jerusalem in the final week of his life, the city was shaken to its core. Matthew says the city was in uproar (seio), with many people not sure of what was going on. Jesus' appearance in our world does shake things up a lot. He comes to confront our comfort, our priorities and our sense of control. 

And when Jesus brushes past us, we need to answer the same question posed by the crowds on that dramatic day: "Who is this?"

Who is Jesus to you? Who is he to me? 

Some people called him the 'prophet', while others referred to him as a 'Rabbi!' What about your response? Who do you say he is?

Living in Grace
