Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0057B recorded on May 27, 1979 teaching from Luke 9:18 – Who is Christ?
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the ultimate identity of Jesus Christ by contrasting public opinion with personal conviction. He argues that while the masses might categorize Jesus as a mere prophet or historical figure, true faith requires an individual to recognize Him as the Messiah and Savior who broke the chains of sin. Stevens emphasizes that this recognition necessitates a life of radical discipleship, defined by taking up one’s own cross and prioritizing a relationship with the divine over worldly wealth or social approval. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens serves a solemn call to action, warning that being ashamed of Christ now will lead to being rejected by Him during His glorious second coming.
