The sermon titled The Mistaken Identity explores the confusion Christians often have about Jesus' true identity. Drawing from Mark 8:27-38, Rev Dr William Chang compares this to the mistaken identity in The Prince and the Pauper. Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ reflects a partial understanding, as he, like many disciples, expected an earthly king, not a suffering Messiah. This confusion is contrasted with the centurion at the cross, who recognised Jesus as the Son of God, offering a true and humble confession. The sermon emphasises that true faith requires accepting Jesus not just as Saviour, but as Lord, fully submitting to His will. Discipleship is about self-denial, taking up the cross, and following Christ.
