Matthew 16:13-16 (NKJV) 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
But who do you say I am?
The way a person answers this question puts them on one side or the other, when it comes to where they stand with God. They either believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the living son of God, Immanuel, or they believe He was just a good man, a teacher or a prophet.
Jesus was all of those things, a prophet, a teacher and a good man, but He was so much more!
Jesus was God with us (Immanuel). He came to the earth with one purpose; to walk with us and then die for us, to save us from our wretched selves and our sinful ways.
Now, let me ask you, who do you say that Jesus is? Is He just someone that we hear about in church, or is He your Savior, your Lord and Redeemer? Do you have a living, vibrant relationship with Him, or is it just casual, where you seek Him or talk to Him once in a while or when things are going wrong with your life?
Kind of makes you think, doesn’t it? Because a vibrant relationship requires work and communication on a regular basis, or it’s not vibrant and living.
Ask yourself today where you’re really at with Jesus. Are you where you want to be? If not, you’re the only one who can change this! You’re the only one who can make a decision to make the relationship better and stronger.
We encourage you to take that step and draw closer to Him today.
James 4:8 (NKJV) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
