Who do you say Jesus is?
It is way too easy to get caught up in life and forget what this week did for the whole of humanity. We can get caught up in the hustle and bustle, just like at Christmas time, and get bogged down in a busy schedule and forget that the events of this week, roughly 2000 years ago, changed the world. Even today, Jesus is one of the most controversial people in history. People still debate whether He existed, if He actually died, was He who he said He was… Jesus himself even stated in Luke 12:51 that, “51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.” That divide? It is between those that believe that Jesus is the Son of God, Lord and Savior, and those who don’t. To be honest, Jesus was the most well documented person in history. He existed. We have more eyewitness testimonies to His miracles than any other, plus they’re documents closer to the original events than any other as well.
So, to quote the question that Jesus asked Peter in 3 of the 4 Gospels
(Mt 16:15, Mk 8:29, Lk 9:20), “Who do you say I am?” Who is Jesus to you? Is He
Lord or not? The evidence is overwhelming. Jesus existed. He died. He was
buried. He rose again. This week 2000 years ago changed everything.
Who do you say Jesus is?
Personally, I echo the words of Peter:
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
