Jesus: Good Man, Deceiver, or Deliverer?
Who is Jesus really? In John 7, people wrestled with the same question we still ask today: Was Jesus just a good man, a deceiver, or the true Deliverer? In this teaching, we explore the words and works of Christ, the growing opposition He faced, and why His claims leave no middle ground. You’ll discover: -Why Jesus’ own brothers didn’t believe in Him (John 7:1–10) -How the crowds debated His identity: good teacher, deceiver, or Messiah -The authority of Jesus’ teaching and why His words still pierce hearts today -Why the cross is the ultimate sign proving Jesus is the Deliverer If you’ve ever wondered who Jesus really is—or struggled with why His words bring both comfort and offense—this message will challenge and encourage you.
