Today Peter Bolton continued the discussion of a question that echoes all the way through the Gospels, one that was asked by crowds, disciples, enemies, and even a dying thief on a cross: who exactly is Jesus? Starting from C.S. Lewis’s famous challenge, he pushes past comfortable but shallow answers, then traces three ancient roles that Jesus steps into and fills in ways nobody around him fully anticipated. Peter shows how each one has direct & practical relevance to everyday Christian life before considering a deep question: Is Jesus more than even these categories can contain?
