Who Do YOU Say, That I Am

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, as He was alone praying, His Disciples joined Him, He asked Them, saying, “Who do Men, say that I, The Son of Man, Am?”  So They answered, “Some say, John The Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah, and others say that one of The Old Prophets has Risen again.”  Jesus said to Them, “But, Who do YOU say that I Am?”  Peter answered and said to Him, “YOU are The Christ, The Son of The Living God.”  Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are YOU, Peter, for flesh and blood has NOT Revealed this to YOU, but My Father, Who is in Heaven."

Every single one of Us, are faced with this question, “Who do YOU say, Jesus Christ is?”  Now, Believers, before each of Us, accepted Jesus Christ, as Our personal Lord and Savior, Our answer, would have been quite different, than Today, wouldn’t it.  So, how did We come to the realization, that Jesus is The Christ, The Son of The Living God Almighty?  Was it from listening to Pastors in Church?  Was it from listening to “Bible Thumpers”, until YOU couldn’t get their words to stop ringing in your head?  Was it from scanning through The Holy Bible?  Was it from something devastating in your Life, which brought YOU to your knees, praying to God?  Was it from having someone sharing with YOU, God Almighty’s Love, His Amazing Saving Grace, through Jesus Christ?  Perhaps, it was a silent moment, in your Life, while YOU were pondering the mysteries of The Universe.  Well, for people, who do NOT know, Who Jesus Christ is, they are still seeking to answer this question, whether they realize it or not.

ONLY God Almighty, can put upon your heart, to have Faith, to Believe!  That’s why Jesus said to Peter, “Blessed are YOU, for flesh and blood has NOT Revealed this to YOU, but My Father, Who is in Heaven.”  Until God Almighty, Himself, Reveals this TRUTH to YOU, until He prepares your heart to receive it, YOU will NOT have “Ears to hear and Eyes to see.” 

Meaning, no matter who shares, who Preaches The Gospel of Jesus Christ, with YOU, YOU will NOT Believe.  Meaning, a person could talk to YOU, until he/she is “blue in the face”, for hours at a time, for days at a time, and still, YOU will NOT Believe.  Meaning, a person could share with YOU, how God Almighty changed his/her Life, once he/she accepted Jesus Christ, and still, YOU will NOT Believe.  Meaning, YOU could witness a miracle, yourself, perhaps a car crash YOU should NOT have survived, or a child being born, which lives, when he/she should NOT have, to name a couple, but still, YOU will NOT Believe.  Meaning, YOU could be at your wit’s end, at “the end of your Life’s rope”, ready even to take your own Life, and still, YOU will NOT Believe.  But again, until God Almighty, Himself, Reveals this TRUTH to YOU, until He prepares your heart to receive it, YOU will NOT have “Ears to hear and Eyes to see.”

So, Believers, when someone asks YOU, “Why do YOU have Faith, Why do YOU Believe, Jesus is The Christ, The Son of The Living God?”  YOU should answer proudly, boldly, “Because, God Almighty, Himself, Revealed this TRUTH to me, He prepared my heart to Receive it, God Almighty gave me, “Ears to hear and Eyes to see.”  By understanding God’s Unconditional Love, acknowledging God’s Amazing Saving Grace, and accepting God’s Free Gift of Salvation, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, I know The Truth.”

Finally, by knowing this Truth, how has it changed YOU (emotionally, mentally, physically, and most importantly, Spiritually)?  We are to Love God Almighty, with All Our heart, mind, body, and Soul/Spirit!

My prayer for YOU, is that YOU truly have a yearning, a burning desire, to share, to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to All, Who have “Ears to hear and Eyes to see.”  There are literally, millions of people around the World, who need to hear, The Truth.  They are out there, literally, waiting for someone to answer this question, “Who do YOU say, Jesus Christ is?”  Will YOU tell them?
