This new vision that I have for the new ministry year is one that will hopefully illuminate the face of Jesus Christ in our hearts and communities like never before. My take is that He is the sole reason for faith and hope in this world. He is the Messiah:
— Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me all who are weary and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
— In John 4:25-26 we hear, "The woman said to Him, 'I know that the Messiah is coming; when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.' Jesus said to her, 'I who speak to you am He."
That's my take. Now, I'm interested in finding out who you think He really is. How has He impacted your life? Is He simply a good teacher? A false prophet? The love of your life? A disciplinarian? A healer? Confidant?
Who do you think He is? Please feel free to post on this blog page or on the facebook post. If you don't comment, at least begin to ask yourself who He really is.
Whenever someone talks about who Jesus is, my first thought revolves around Hebrews 1:3 '... He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When he had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.'
ReplyDeleteThe Book of Hebrews is a revelation of Jesus ... in comparison to angels, Moses, Melchizedek, etc. I love Him more having seen Him contrasted with these great beings and great men.
Just a thought ... DF
