Who do you say that I am?

Matthew 16:15

Consider the weight of that Question, the significance of what Jesus is asking his disciples.

  • Am I just another religious figure to you?
  • Or do my teachings permeate your soul, transform your life?
  • Do you understand that I am God?

So, for those of you reading this, I say what the Disciples say “You are the Christ, the Living God”

Grace defines you. As grace sinks in, earthly labels fade. Society labels you like a can on an assembly line. Stupid. Unproductive. Slow learner. Fast talker. Quitter. Cheapskate. But as grace infiltrates, criticism disintegrates. You know you aren’t who they say you are. You are who God says you are. Spiritually alive. Heavenly positioned. Connected to the Father. A billboard of mercy. An honored child.

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

The Cloak of Humanity

While Jesus lived on earth he prayed to God and asked God for help. He prayed with loud cries and tears to the One who could save him from death (Hebrews 5:7)

My what a portrait! Jesus is on the stage of fear. Jesus is cloaked, not in sainthood, but in humanity.

The next time the fog finds you, you might do well to remember Jesus in the garden. The next time you think that no one understands, reread the fourteenth chapter of Mark. The next time your self-pity convinces you that no one cares, pay a visit to Gethsemane. And the next time you wonder if God really perceives the pain that prevails on this dusty planet, listen to him pleading among the twisted trees.

No Wonder They Call Him The Savior

I read this the other day and it was exactly what I needed. Thank you Jesus.

Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I’ve been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That’s the deal.

It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.

It’s the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

Continue seeking God with seriousness. Unless He wanted you, you would not be wanting Him.
