Who Was Jesus?
Rev. Richard Speck
April 13, 2025 is Palm Sunday in the Christian calendar. For almost 2000 years, people have tried to understand who this enigmatic individual was. Some say he was a prophet, others say he was a rebel, and others believe he was the son of God. So who was he? We will explore the last week of the life of Jesus and draw some conclusions as to who Jesus was.
