What Do You Think of Jesus?

 After having listened to four talks in two days about Jesus and Christain living, a sister who had been conversing with a lady and her brother, who was yet to accept Christ, asked the man, "So, what do you think of Jesus after all that listening about Him?"

The man was not quite sure yet but the lady prays God's word won't return to Him void (see Isaiah 55:11).

When I read Mark 8:27-30, it reminded me of that question posed to that man. Jesus had asked the disciples what the gossip was about Him.  They said, 

"Some say John the Baptizer and others say Elijah or one of the prophets" (v 28).

Jesus then asked a further question,

"Who do you say I am?"

This is the crux of the matter isn't it!  Peter, bless his dear soul, answered,

"You are the Christ."

This is totally amazing if you think about it.  Peter was acknowledging that Jesus was the Messiah, the one the Jews had been waiting for, for centuries!

So the question I pose to myself and everyone else who reads this,

"What do you think about Jesus?"

Is He Your Savior and Lord?  Is He your best, best friend?  Let's acknowledge Him for who He is.  Then we can live our lives accordingly to please, honor, and worship Him, the one true God.

May we each then read God's Word and obey it so we can accomplish God's purposes in our own lives and reach out to others so that they may know and acknowledge who Jesus is.

So be it, heavenly Father.
