Gospel of Love Video Series (11) - Who do people say I am?

First, we will look at Luke 9.19 where Jesus asks his disciples a question that is very important. “Who do people say I am?” Jesus asked, and his disciples answered, “John the Baptist, but some say Elias, and others say that one of the old prophets is risen again.” He is taking it for granted, and they are taking it for granted that he is asking, “Who do they say I was? Who was I?” Jesus did not deny this common cultural knowledge of his time.
So, Jesus is saying that the person who previously was Elias came back as John the Baptist.
