Jesus’ Identity: Who was Jesus?

Jesus was not merely a good teacher (Mark 10:17-18), Mark presents masses of evidence to show us Jesus’ true identity. Jesus is the Christ (Mark 1:1, 8:29). “Christ” means Messiah, God’s king who had been promised centuries before in the Old Testament (Mark 1:2-3). This king would come and rescue his people. As this king, Jesus claims and acts with the power and authority that belongs to God alone (Mark 2:1-12, 4:35-41, 2:28, 14:61-64). The only explanation that fits the facts is that Jesus is God himself and so we must listen to what he says (Mark 9:2-8).
