WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

For two thousand years, this question that Jesus once asked his followers has been debated passionately. It has been answered in many different ways by many different people. It’s interesting that people outside the church often have a negative view of Christians, but they think highly of Jesus. Many people in our culture want to talk about Jesus. They are not so much interested in our styles of worship, programs, and church government, but they are interested in Jesus.

The Office of Evangelism wants to connect people outside the church with people in the church around conversations about Jesus. So in partnership with a group of students from Princeton Theological Seminary we have created www.whodoyousaythatiam.net, a brand new, innovative, and interactive website that explores this question using the internet and social media. People are invited to give their answers to the Jesus question in text, art, or video.

The mission of this new site is to foster conversation about Jesus, so that people inside the church and beyond the church will encounter more deeply the life-changing love of God. We believe that it is when we live out of this love in Jesus Christ that everything begins to change.

This is a great idea!
"Who do you say that I am?"
Jesus, I confess that you are the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Indeed, you are both Savior and Lord. I am yours.

Ultimately, it seems to me that it is more important that I acknowledge who Jesus is by His own self declaration and admission than by who "I" say that He is.
Frances Schaeffer acknowledged that Jesus is Lord, seated at the right hand of the Father, whether anyone believes it or not. He is the Christ whether we preach it or not. He is coming again to judge the living and the dead whether we want Him to or not.
He is the Light of the world, the bread of heaven, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world whether or not we choose to live in darkness and die without Him. He is the Way and the Truth and the Life whether we follow Him or the father of lies, His enemy.
Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the Last, the Living One. He is the bright morning star, the solid Rock, and our only hope in life or in death. Believe it or not.

Jesus is my life and my salvation, the Good Shepherd and the Great Physician. The Word of God and the exact representation of the Father. In Him God was pleased to fully dwell. He is fully God and fully human, full of grace of truth, sinless yet condemned, crucified yet risen, at once Prophet, Priest and King, forever.

Jesus is who He claimed to be. Believe it or not.
