"Who Am I?"

A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes
“Who Am I?”
Matthew 16:15-16
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."
Have you ever googled Jesus? You can type in His name and get all sort of definitions. Of course, there is our Christian definition. Jesus as resurrected Savior, all Divine, One of the Trinity, born of virgin birth from the Holy Spirit, fully God and fully man and our soon coming King. Then you have what the “other religions” say that He is. No deity, no Savior, no resurrection, just an important prophet, not the Messiah, an imaginary friend and on and on and on.
Now I have the same question for YOU. Who do YOU say that He is? Peter had been with Jesus. What Peter knew about Jesus came from the Father above. Peter knew Jesus was the Christ the Son of the Living God. He knew who Jesus was because-----Peter had been with Jesus-----When you spend time with someone you know them personal and up close. When you say He is the Christ the Son of the Living God, you are professing you faith in Him. Have YOU been with Jesus?
The One True and Living God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for revealing Yourself to me. I want to know You more and more. I want to get as close to You as I can. Holy Spirit keep me hungry. I worship You and only You. I believe , as Peter, that You are The Christ The Son of The Living God. Amen
