God bless you all, I want to first say thank you to all who continue to pray for this ministry. May the Lord contiue to bless you and your families. Today I would like to ask you all a question ‘Who is Jesus to you?’ This question is the most imporatnat question you will ever be asked and what might be more important is your reply! We come accross people everyday, we meet people from all walks of life and we all have different experiences with the people we meet, which creates different perceptions or opinions of each individual. So I ask today ask you, the reader ‘Who is Jesus to you?” Some say he is a prophet, some say just a man, some say God, some say he never even existed. When Jesus asked, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter famously replied, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God”. Jesus commended Peter for this declaration, stating it was revealed to him by God the Father. Jesus asked a lot of questions. Query was one of His favorite teaching tools. One of the questions Jesus put to the disciples was “Who do you say that I am?” This question drew out a response that is instructive to all of us. The context of Jesus’ question “Who do you say that I am?” is important: “Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, ‘Who do the crowds say I am?’ “They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.’ “‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’Matthew relates that Peter did more than just identify Jesus as the Christ; he also proclaimed Jesus’ divine nature: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” Jesus’ question “Who do you say I am?” was not a sign of ignorance; He knew all things, including what was on the disciples’ minds. The question was also not motivated by some type of self-conceit or vanity; Jesus did not preen, and He had no desire to fish for compliments. Rather, His question was aimed at provoking the disciples to consider their level of faith. The immediate results of His question make it clear why He asked them what He did. Jesus began the conversation by asking a related question: “Who do the crowds say I am?” (Luke 9:18). In response, the disciples related the various things they had heard: the opinions included several personages come back to life, pointing to the fact that the crowds viewed Jesus as someone special. But the crowds’ guesses were all wrong. So Jesus directs the question to the disciples themselves: “Who do you say that I am?” In other words, are you following the crowd? Are you sticking with the conventional wisdom about Me? Or do you have another, more insightful answer? What do you really think? I want to end this by emphasizing the importance of getting to know who Jesus really is in YOUR life. You cannot actually know who anyone is until you spend time with them. Jesus is God, He is the King of Kings, The name above all names, the resurrected one, the eternal one! To say you believe in Him just is not enough, you must live His word and obey it! More than just uttering scripture but rather living it. Matthew ch 7-21-23 In this passage, Jesus warns that simply professing belief or engaging in religious activities is not enough. True faith requires a genuine relationship with God and actively following His will, rather than just giving “lip service” to His authority. I pray that this blog has helped you understand who Jesus is and who He desires to be to you. To God be all the glory and all the honor.
