4. How has this message been passed on to you?
Through my Great Grandparents to my Grandparents to my Parents to me.
Later in the passage (verse 20) Jesus tells his disciples not to tell anyone He is the Messiah. Today most people think Jesus is good man or the story is not accurate. Believing Jesus is the Messiah today means accepting him to save us personally from our sin (wrong doings) and in the future to create a new world where their will be no more sin. Only a few people have this belief in Jesus, just like it was back when Jesus lived.
