Did the earliest disciples believe that Jesus was God? Did Jesus Himself claim to be God or was this some invention of the Church. From the pages of Church history and the depths of Scripture, our guest, a New Testament scholar, will explain the historical account of the deity of Jesus of Nazareth.
Today, on Good Friday, we will take a look at the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus. As we survey the “old rugged cross,” our guest will provide biblical answers that reveal the endless treasure we find in the word of God and in the person of Jesus.
