The other evening I was having a telephone conversation with someone and we were talking about a relative that had passed away long before I was born. I still do not have any idea what the person’s name is or must else about them. I know of this person; but, I do not know them personally.
In Jesus’ day people thought He was many different people. Look at Matthew 16:14, “And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.” People were confused about who Jesus really is.
Today is no different. People teach that Jesus is a prophet, He was just a good Man and many other versions of who He is.
I am thankful that no matter what or who others think He is or was that He is still the Son of God. Notice the penetrating question that Jesus posed to Peter in Matthew 16:15, “He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?” Our eternal destiny depends upon our answer to this question. If Jesus is just some antiquated prophet then we are in trouble for sure. If Jesus is in fact (and He is) the Son of God then we need to bow to Him and King of kings and LORD of lords.
I don’t know who you think Jesus is; but, friend I know who He is and I am eternally thankful for being introduced to Him and I know He is my Saviour. How about you?
So, how are you doing?
