Question
Hi Brenda

JESUS said, " The HE commanded HIS disciles that they should tell
no one that HE was JESUS the CHRIST. "

Brenda, why do you think our Lord JESUS would say something like that ? " TELL NO ONE ?

Thank You Brenda
GOD BLESS YOU
Bro. Ray M.

Answer
Jesus usually instructs those whom he heals not to tell anyone, since he does not want to have people reach conclusions on the basis of sensational reports.

Jesus wanted people to reach the conclusion themselves that he is the Christ by comparing his activities with what the Bible foretold that the Christ would accomplish. That is why he charged his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

all the best
