Good Morning Friends,
“Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, ‘Who do the crowds say I am?’ They replied, ‘Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.’ ‘But what about you?’ he asked. ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter answered, ‘The Christ of God.’” (Luke 9:18-20)
Do you have friends, co-workers, neighbors and relatives who have different views about who Jesus is?
Those who embrace Islam believe that Jesus is one in a long line of prophets. Not the greatest prophet, that position is reserved for Mohammed, but still He is a prophet.
Those who embrace Mormonism believe that Jesus is a son of God. Not the only Son of God, just one of the sons of God.
Many in our world believe that Jesus is a great teacher. Some would even call Him the greatest teacher. They are impressed with His moral and ethical teachings.
There are other less positive opinions about Jesus, too. Some call Him an imposter. Some say He is a myth, at least in the way Christians believe in Him.
There are all sorts of opinions about Jesus.
But the opinions of the people around you are the most important opinion. The most important opinion is the true one: that Jesus is the Christ of God.
Which belief do you embrace? Does your life reflect that belief?
His, by Grace,
Steve
