For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life -John 3:16.
Many in the world have still not heard about our Jesus. Others are still wondering if all the things they've heard about Him is true. Still there are some not sure if He ever existed or can He still be alive, as many claim Him to be.
Who is He? Many are asking and I'm glad they are, for it affords me an opportunity to glorify the true and living God in answering you. He, first and foremost is God's only begotten Son. He is second in the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost), In Him we live and move and have our being. By Him all things consists. He is the bread of life (John 6:35, 41,48,51); the light of the world (John 8:12; 9:5); the door for His sheep (10:7,9); the good shepherd (john 10:11,14) the resurecction and the life (john 11:25); the way the truth and the life (John 14: 6); and the true vine (john 15:1). You will notice in the gospel of John that each of these statements when spoken by Jesus begins with I AM recalling God's revelation to Moses (Exod. 3:14). Jesus signifies here that He is God and will be whatever anyone wants Him to be in their situation or need.
Jesus is the doctor in a sickroom, the lawyer in a courtroom, the teacher in a classroom, preacher, waymaker, bridge over troubled water, rock in a weary land, a battleaxe, our banner, healer, leader, servant, anything you want Him to be, He will be. His name is Jesus, our Savior and Lord, Our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.
Prayer: Lord, just when we think we know everything there is to know about you there comes new revelations. Help us to know you rather than about you. Amen.
Encouragement: Establish a relationship with Jesus. You will be able to tell others He is alive and real deep down in your soul.
