John 8:10-11 (NKJV) 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

Over the last two days, we have discussed who Jesus is, to all of humanity and to us personally.

Today we will address one last question. The answers to this question will help shape our understanding in ways that we may not have previously thought about.

The question we want to examine today is, “who are you to Jesus?”

It is critical for us to understand this because it shapes our entire walk with God.

Considering that fact, who we are to Jesus, how does He see us?

The verses above help us establish the fact that Jesus sees us through eyes of compassion and mercy.

The woman in the verses above was caught in the act of adultery and had been dragged into the streets to be stoned to death, as was required in the Mosaic Law.

But when Jesus saw what was happening, He intervened and caused the woman’s accusers to stop and consider what they were about to do by addressing their own sinfulness.

By doing this, Jesus caused each of the men who were holding stones in their hands to look introspectively. And by the time He was finished, every last man had left, dropping their stones right there in the street.

When the last man had walked away, Jesus did not condemn the woman, who was clearly guilty of what she had been accused of.

Instead, He told her to go on her way, with a reminder that she should no longer engage in her sins.

This is how Jesus sees us.

He came and walked the earth in human form so He could experience life up close and personal, being tempted, experiencing betrayal, feeling hunger, sorrow, fear, and joy.

He did not carry a big stick with which He could punish. He did not swing a sword against His enemies, of which He had many.

He chose to love in a way that was foreign to those He encountered. And that love transformed the hearts and lives of many, including 12 apostles who would go on to turn the world upside down in His name.

So, we urge you to submit yourself to Him. Let Him love you with the love that can only come from the heart of God.

And in turn, love Him back with your whole being, making your life a sacrifice to the One who was willing to die in our place on the most horrific cross of Calvary.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

In yesterday’s devotional, we firmly established who Jesus is.

Today we will examine who He is from a different perspective; our own personal point of view.

So, today’s question is, “who is Jesus to you?”.

In John 14:6 (above) we can clearly see that Jesus is the only Way to the Father.

What did He mean when He spoke those words?

When making this bold statement, He was proclaiming that He is “the bridge” between us and the Father. Without Him, we have no right to access the Father in heaven.

Why are we separated from God?

Our sin makes us unholy (unrighteous). And because God is holy, we cannot approach Him.

Jesus also said that God had such immense love for humanity that He sent His Son (Jesus) to die for them, giving every human being the opportunity (through Jesus) to inherit eternal life.

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Because Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins, we have the opportunity to accept this gift of redemption, have our sins forgiven, and be made clean, holy and righteous before God.

Furthermore, putting our faith in Jesus gives us the right to be called sons and daughters of God.

John 1:12 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

You see, it is not just about knowing who Jesus is that matters.

Many know who He is. But few accept Him and take Him at His word

Please join us tomorrow as we consider one final question.

Mark 15:39 (NKJV) 39 So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

Who is Jesus?

There are three things about Him we would like to look at over the next three days.

As we do this, it should give us all a better, more complete understanding of who Jesus is. And this should give us a deeper appreciation for Him and what He did for us.

First, let us look at Him from a “big picture perspective” so we can better understand Him in a broad sense.

Who is Jesus in this larger sense?

The word of God says He is the Son of God, born of a virgin.

Luke 1:35 (NKJV) 35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

According to John 1:1, He has existed for all eternity, and He is God.

John 1:2 reaffirms His eternal existence.

John 1:3 goes on to tell us that everything we see was made through Him. He was co-Creator, alongside the Father and the Holy Spirit.

John 1:1-3 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

He is not simply a good man or a prophet.

He is God in the flesh, who lived and walked among humanity.

John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Why did He come to walk among us?

To live a perfect, sinless life. And to give His life as a sacrifice for the sins of all of mankind.

With that established, we will continue this tomorrow.
