"Who Do You Say I Am?"

I opened the Bible one beautiful day and read: "And as they were coming down the mountain, he [Jesus] charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of man should have risen from the dead. So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant" (Mk 9:9-10). "Tell no one what they had seen?" I asked myself, "Why the secrecy?"

The coming of Jesus 2000 years ago with His salvific Mission to redeem the fallen human race lost to sin was prophesied by Old Testament prophets throughout the centuries, so it should not have come as a surprise to those who were familiar with the Holy Scriptures; namely, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the scribes. But that is precisely what happened! And not only did they fail to recognize Him, they treated Him like a common criminal and had Him crucified.

QUESTION: "Why did these 'experts in religion' fail to recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah? Was critical information intentionally hidden from them?" After hundreds of years of prophecies about Him, what more information could they possibly have needed and wanted that was not given to them by the prophets - even by Jesus Himself? The answers to these intriguing questions, based on the obscure Messianic Secret, are revealed here in this fascinating and easy to read book.
