Who Is Jesus To Us?
In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asks His disciples, “Who do you say I am?“
That is the ultimate question which is asked directly by Jesus. Who do “we” say that He is? The world has it’s own invalid thoughts and opinions on who Jesus is, but it does not matter. It makes no difference what they think about Jesus. All that matters is who we believe and know that He is. Many different groups of people say Jesus was a great teacher or a great prophet or a very enlightened man and try to give Him some weird kind of respect or praise but not the glory He deserves. It is all meaningless. Jesus made it very clear who He is. Jesus said that He is God many times. For someone to reduce that to teacher, prophet or an “enlightened” man has no respect or reverence for Him at all. We must pray that God guard’s our hearts so we do not fall victim with the rest of the world degrading the person of Jesus Christ. We can say Jesus is the Lord, our God, but if we do not follow Him and dedicate our lives to Him, lives which He died for, we are just as wrong and misled as the rest of the world. If we believe Jesus Christ is our Lord, the Son of the living God, let us allow God to changes our lives to reflect that.
