In Matthew 16:15 Jesus asks the disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” This is a great question, who do you say Jesus is, and how do we determine who He is? The world says, he was a good man, or that he was a teacher. The real question is twofold: One, who does God say that He is, and second, Do I accept what God says about Him? Peter says it very well, in Matthew 16:16, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” The time for us to realize who He is, is now! This recognition makes Jesus our Savior, as well as our Lord. One day, every person who has ever lived or ever will, will come to understand the Jesus that the Father sent to the earth to provide redemption for all who will receive Him. Jesus is more than our “buddy” He is the Lord of the universe, and all will acknowledge that one day according to Philippians 2:11. There is an important point to make from that verse; while all people will acknowledge Him as LORD, not all will recognize Him as Savior. The time to do that is now my friend. Don’t wait until Jesus is your judge, come to Him while He offers to be your savior!
