Another Jesus?
Another Jesus? Dr. Mike Murphy I could not believe what they was saying. I heard the words, but my mind was not able to comprehend them. I had mentioned my shock at hearing a pastor who was preaching that Christ was a representative of God, but did not come as God. Their reply to my statement floored me, as if a punch in the gut that drew the breath out of me.

I was thinking about Peter’s view of Himself before the death of Jesus
I was thinking about Peter’s view of Himself before the death of Jesus. In John 13:36, where Peter swears he will lay down his life for the Lord, was his exalted thought of what he was.
