Is Jesus the Christ? | Common Presuppositions and Worldviews to Tackle Before Sharing the Gospel
On Sunday, Pastor Jay examined John 7:40-52, where we see how different groups of people view Jesus. Why does it matter how someone views Jesus? The theme verse of the gospel of John says, "but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). We see from Scripture that who someone believes Jesus to be has everything to do with their eternal state. Pastor Jay challenged us in this sermon to use that question about who someone believes Jesus to be as an opportunity to share the gospel. By understanding someone’s worldview, we can better know how to share the gospel. Our closest relationships can be impacted by examining how Jesus is viewed and taking the next steps to lovingly challenge any presuppositions on the way to sharing the gospel.

How, then should we bless the Lord?
