Who Is Jesus To You?

So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
– Matthew 16:14-15 (NKJV)

This is a question we must repeatedly ask ourselves and give an answer to.
 
God is sovereign and unlimited in expression yet He will not violate, vandalize or arm-twist you and your will.
 
Jesus asked the question in Matthew 16, not out of a personality complex but to help His disciples get the right focus and keep the right attitude.
 
I’m sure He wanted them to remember that all the miracles were for a purpose not for show-off, fun, or feel-good experience.
 
This question if properly answered and internalized will redefine your relationship with your maker.

When you wake up and remember who Christ is to you, you should pray.
When you remember who He is to you, you should live to please Him.
When you fully appreciate who He is, you should be passionate to be like Him.
 
Struggles with selfish ambition, wealth accumulation, love for pleasure, and comfort are most probably because you have not given this question some deep thinking… Who is Jesus to you?
 
So pause a moment now and answer the question, “Who is Jesus to me?”

And while you talk about Him in glowing colors, take a look at your life and see if you really are living in accordance with who He is to you.

LET US PRAY:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for saving me and setting me free from sin and satan. I declare that sin, flesh, and satan no longer have dominion over me for the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives inside of me. I am a child of God. I am full of love for God and His community. I rise above all limits and hindrances now and always. Amen
