Who Is Jesus? Bible Study Guide

By Louie Giglio

The question has been asked and debated for generations. Some call him Lord. Some say he was a good man, a prophet, or a teacher. Still others call him a lunatic or liar. History, culture, and Scripture agree that all of life centers on your answer to this one question: Who Is Jesus?

In this five-week video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Pastor Louie Giglio invites us to meet God in both our intellect and our hearts by uncovering what history and Scripture have to say about Jesus. Throughout the study, you'll witness how Jesus appeared and shaped the landscape of history, just as he shapes the landscape of our lives for eternity.

For those just beginning to ask questions about him and those who have known him for a long time, the Who Is Jesus? Bible Study is a journey toward discovering the truth about history's most monumental figure and humanity's opportunity to know him personally.

Sessions include:

1. Good or God?
2. Friend or Foe?
3. King or Pawn?
4. A Way or the Way?
5. The Lion or the Lamb?

SESSION 1

GOOD OR GOD?

Is Jesus really who he says he is? Is he really the most important person in history? Someone who deserves our respect and admiration—or is he more than that? Is he someone who deserves our worship? Who is Jesus?

As a result, we rely on trustworthy servers, established websites, and well-known online merchants, hoping their encryption defenses can prevent thieves from using our information for illegal gain. We want to be in control of all the pieces that form the basis of who we are, what we do, and how much we’re worth.

Our personal identities are even more complex—the result of countless variables reflecting biology and genetics as well as our temperaments and experiences. Even when we think we have a handle on who we are, it becomes more challenging to know the true identity of the people around us.
