Location: Israel
Time: Circa 50 A.D.
Primary Scripture: Hebrews 1:3 — "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word."
Apollos stands before a gathering of seekers, believers, and skeptics alike. His eyes gleam with passion as he begins to speak of the man who has transformed lives, confounded minds, and revealed God’s heart to humanity.
My Name Is Apollos…
Who is this Jesus? To many, He remains a mystery, a question wrapped in paradoxes. He walked among us, a man, yet so much more. For centuries, our people have waited, hoping for the one promised by God — a deliverer, a king, a prophet, a priest. And yet, when He came, few understood. Even now, many ask, “Who is Jesus?”
I too once wrestled with this question, but through the Scriptures and by the Spirit’s illumination, I have come to see Him as more than I could have ever imagined. I tell you, Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory, the exact representation of His being (Hebrews 1:3). He is the fullness of God revealed to us, yet He is also the Son of Man — a title He often used, with meaning layered upon meaning.
The Son of Man. What does this mean? On one level, it speaks to His humanity. He was born to Mary, raised by Joseph, living among us as one of us. To see Him was to see a man, subject to hunger, thirst, weariness, and all the challenges of our human experience. He laughed, He wept, He worked with His hands. In every way, He was truly human, fully experiencing the life of a son of man.
