Overview
Have you ever read something that Jesus said, and wondered why he would say such a thing? For example: after watching Jesus perform a bunch of miracles, his followers inform him that they have finally come to the realization that he is the promised Messiah. And how does Jesus respond? “Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.” (Matthew 16:20) What?! Why would he say that? There’s a reason for Jesus’ response. There’s a very good reason for it. And, in Act Four of this series, we are going to discover that reason. It will all make sense when we understand the context, the back story, the BIG PICTURE of Jesus’ words.
