So who (Who) is Jesus?

He was popular. He spoke well. He did nice things for people. He made folks feel better about their situation. He gave everyone hope. Yet he also ticked off a few people so much that many wanted to see Him dead! So who is this Jesus? Is He who He says He is or a liar . . . a lunatic . . . a fool . . . just another religious fanatic out for a quick buck or political gain?


But who do YOU say that I am? Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ. The Sonof the Living God. And Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon, son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven." . . . On this rock I will build my church . . .(Matthew 16:15-18


The question remains today: Who do YOU say Jesus is? I am so frustrated today with folks who say He is anything and everything but THE MESSIAH . . . THE CHRIST . . . THE SON of THE LIVING GOD! Is He LORD and SAVIOR? 


He cannot be just Savior. He must be MASTER and RULER as well! Jesus does not come with options like a new car deal. We cannot pick and choose what things we like and don't like! We accept as Him as He is or we reject Him. Who do YOU say that JESUS is? It is a life or death decision that must be made in this life!
