| Matthew 16:13-17 The Message Son of Man, Son of God 13When Jesus arrived in the villages of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "What are people saying about who the Son of Man is?" 14They replied, "Some think he is John the Baptizer, some say Elijah, some Jeremiah or one of the other prophets." 15He pressed them, "And how about you? Who do you say I am?" 16Simon Peter said, "You're the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God." 17-18Jesus came back, "God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn't get that answer out of books or from teachers. My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am. And now I'm going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out. |
A great deal has always been said about Jesus. Some people don't believe He is real. Some believe the He existed , but is nothing more than just another prophet. Others, believe that He is just an ordinary man that lived long ago. Recently, The Da Vinci Code made claims about Jesus. It was said that Jesus had a child with Mary Magdalene.
Why are there so many attacks on Jesus, not Muhammad, not Budah? Jesus is the real thing. Jesus is the Son of God; the true and living God. He gave His life to save your life and mine. We live in a world that wants us to stop saying the name, Jesus. Oh but the power in that name. Jesus is the only name that save, delivers, heals, and sets the captives free. At that name every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. His name causes demons to tremble! The gates of hell cannot prevail against Him. He is sweeter than the honey in the honey comb.
If you don't know Him, get to know Him. Ask Him to come into your heart right now. It's simple...just believe that He was born of a virgin, that He died on the cross, and rose again. He did it just for you! I promise your life will never be the same. Tell that Him that you believe, tell Him that you love Him, ask Him to come in and fill the empty places in your heart. If you already know Him, reaffirm your love right now. If you're going through call Him; say His name. Just tell Him how great He is and how much you love Him. Tell Him He is everything to you. take a few minutes and just worship Him.
"Who Do You Say I Am?" saith the Lord
God Bless
