Who Do You Say I Am!

"Who do you say I am" asked Jesus in Matt ch16v15. This is not an intellectually based question only. We need to remind ourselves of this question daily. As CS Lewis wrote, Jesus is either a liar, lunatic, or Lord. If the first two, he is easily dismissed. But if the third, we must follow. Jesus' teachings were difficult, and still are. Peter tries to protect Jesus in Matt 16:22. He did not realize how God's plan is different from man's. We are upset at difficulties in life. We fail to realize those as part of God's plan to strengthen us or purify us. We look back at the disciples in the Gospels and think, geez, these guys are thick. Jesus was with them and they failed to realize how special it was. Hey, Jesus is with us still today. Is He Lord in your life? Careful with that answer, it may cause changes in your actions, behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes!
