IS JESUS A PROPHET?

 VENDOR ASKS A QUESTION

TWO CHRISTIAN TOURISTS

THE MAN ASKS A QUESTION, "DOESN'T YOUR BIBLE TEACH THAT JESUS IS A PROPHET?"

"So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”  Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.  Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”  
John 6:12-14  NKJV  (New King James Version)


THE HISPANIC WOMAN ANSWERS:

"Jesus went to the area of Caesarea Philippi. He said to his followers, “Who do people say I am?”

They answered, “Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And some say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

Then Jesus said to his followers, “And who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, 

“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus answered, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah. No one taught you that. My Father in heaven showed you who I am.  So I tell you, you are Peter. And I will build my church on this rock. The power of death will not be able to defeat my church.  I will give you the keys to God’s kingdom. When you speak judgment here on earth, that judgment will be God’s judgment. When you promise forgiveness here on earth, that forgiveness will be God’s forgiveness.”

Then Jesus warned his followers not to tell anyone he was the Messiah."

Matthew 16:13-20  ERV  (Easy to Read Version)

THE RED HEAD ANSWERS:

"Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”  Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”  Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”  Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”  

John 20:26-29  ESV  (English Standard Version)

JESUS' DISCIPLES BELIEVED THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH AND THE SON OF GOD.
