Who do you say Jesus is?

[silentpoet]

Perhaps the most important question we can ask or answer is "Who is Jesus?" And we can answer that vital question with another question we ask of ourselves, "Who do I say Jesus is?"

Jesus asked Peter that very question. First Peter told Him what other people said. But Jesus probed deeper and asked in essence, "Yeah, but what about you, who do you say I am?" Peter's answer is the very bedrock of our faith. "You are the Christ." Peter was saying "I believe You are God with us."

I think the essence of Jesus' questioning was to get at Peter's heart. Jesus did not so much care what others thought as He cared what His followers thought deep in their hearts. So today it does not matter what books like The Davinci Code or what the secular media and culture says. It matters what we say.

Now I ask you the same question. Who do you say Jesus is? Who do you say Jesus is with your time? Who do you say Jesus is with your money? Who do you say Jesus is with your relationships? Who do you say Jesus is with your words? Who do you say Jesus is with your choices? Who do you say Jesus is with your silence? Who do you say Jesus is when nobody is around to notice?

Jesus is my rock and my shield.

The only real constant I have in my life. Sometimes He is harder to feel than others. I know that He is there though. Whenever I am weak and I need someone to lean on, he provides it. He provides me with a distraction from the pain. He provides me with the love I need to carry on.

Jesus means so much to me, that I really don't know how to describe Him but by saying, He is the "One" in my life.

My life would be so boring, so pointless without being saved in Him. Right now I feel the love of God, and how great it is. My life revolves around Him.

Sure, I'm into things, such as music. I like web design, too. But what is my music about? And Who's Name do I pursue to write on these XHTML documents?

Jesus gives perfect peace, joy, health, and satisfaction to the world..
against the prince and ruler of the darkness in this earth that is the devil..

Every people follows Him and believes Him for in Him there's no division, strife, sickness, poverty..

He's an example for the believers to share the good news to people by God's amazing grace..

All began to have the same in mind in unity because of Him..

Everyone who became a child of God will receive the promises of God..

We are victorious in life because of Him..

The real point is not about words, but what are you saying with your life and deeds.

I think Simon Peter answered this question the best.

[BIBLE=Matthew 16:16]Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.[/BIBLE]

Jesus is my Lord, my God, my Friend. Contemplate His Face in the Bible

This is a very sobering question, who is Jesus?
He is the beginning and the end
The first and the last
He is the one through whom, for him and by him all things are sustained and held together. if he decided to withdraw his grace the whole world wold collapse. And yet.....
He is the one who said i have done it all for you.... i have paid the price for your sins and i have taken the punishment meant for you.
He is the one who says come to me and i will give you rest and an inheritance with my father.

And I know he is the one that sustains my little world and gives it meaning, even when sometimes i am unfaithful to him in what i do and in what i fail to do. in what i say and in what i fail to say. Like Peter after the Cock has crowed three times he still offers forgiveness and restoration not because i deserve it but because it pleases him.

So who is Jesus?, He is the one person every one should know and have in there lives. He is the only who i will try to hold onto with my little feeble human hands, even though i know that by his grace and spirit he holds me with a hand stronger than iron and can never be broken - even when sometimes i doubt this he still holds - even when i falter he still holds - even when i sometimes grieve him he still holds. That's who Jesus is to me, I am not perfect, even though he has called me to perfection

For me

HE is The Light

HE is The Truth

He is The Only Way to salvation.

Right now I am realising the Grace within His Light. The Love and protection He provides

He is I AM.
