But Who
Do You
Say I Am?
Scripture
Luke 9
18 One day Jesus left the crowds to pray alone. Only his disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
19 “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other ancient prophets risen from the dead.”
20 Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Peter replied, “You are the Messiah sent from God!”
Observation
Who
is Jesus to you? Is he just an historical figure? Is he just a baby in the
manger whose birth gets celebrated each year with lots of gift giving?
Maybe
the only time you use his name is when you get angry and curse at something or
someone.
Who
is Jesus to you? It is the most important question that you will ever have to
answer.
Yes,
one day whether you believe that Jesus is the Son of God or not, you will bow
down on your knees in front of Him.
There
was a time in my life when Jesus was just a name, just someone whose birth gave
me an opportunity to give and receive gifts at what we call Christmas.
But
all of that changed when someone shared with me that Jesus Christ came into
this world to save me from my sins.
At
nineteen years old I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I asked Jesus to be
my Lord and my Savior. I asked Him to forgive me of my sins. And He did just
that. He saved me!
Who
is Jesus Christ to you? Have you surrendered your life to Him? Is He your Lord
and Savior?
Just
who is Jesus to you?
I
will share about Jesus this morning at Mission Tampa. How about you? Do you
know Him?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray today for any person that may be reading this simple blog that
does not know Jesus personally. I pray that You will open up his or her heart
so that they can believe and commit their lives to You. Help them know today
Jesus as Lord and Savior. Give them the courage to believe. Thank You for
saving me and giving me such a rich and abundant life. None of it do I deserve.
I know that I am a sinner saved by Your wonderful grace.
I
pray for my sister Bea today. Heal her body. Give her strength. And I pray the
same for DuWayne Crofton, John Seale, and Priti Gandhi. Show yourself powerful
in their lives today and heal them. You are God. Nothing is too hard for You!
