In the first century, everyone had expectations about who the Messiah would be. Some people pictured a political revolutionary, while others imagined a military leader who would bring deliverance from the Roman Empire. Jesus was careful to distance Himself from these misguided expectations, for He had come to fulfill a greater purpose: the redemption of His people from sin. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines a conversation between Christ and His disciples that illuminates Jesus’ true identity and mission.
