Who Is Jesus?

Genesis 23-24; Luke 9 

“’…Who do the crowds say that I am?’…’But what about you?’ he asked, ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter answered, ‘The Christ of God.’”

Luke 9:18, 20

At the heart of a relationship with God is the question of who Jesus is.

Is he just a good moral teacher, worthy of our emulation, or is he more?

Is he a great prophet sent to give us an important message from God?

Or, is he the Messiah, the Christ, God himself in human form?

Our answer to this question, like Peter’s, will change the course of our lives. Many people give evidence through their lives that Jesus is a good moral leader, but not the ruler of their lives. 

If Jesus was God, would we not fully surrender our lives to know and follow him every day in our finances, lifestyle, relationships, vocational choices, and in every other area of our lives?

Peter was clear that Jesus was God, and worthy of denying himself, even losing his own life for.

Are we that clear on who Jesus is?

Can others look at our lives and answer for themselves who we believe Jesus to be?

“Lord Jesus, point other disciples to yourself through my life this day, for your glory.”
