"Who do you say that we am? "- Matthew 16: 15 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, He said, "Do you think in the Son of Man? inch 36 "Who is he, mister? inch the man asked. "Tell me so that I may believe in him. inch -- John 9: 35-36 People want to know. People need to decide. What do you say about Jesus? Who is He to you? The haunting question that everyone has to deal with in this life is: "Who is Jesus? inch Is He yet another man? Is He a liar? Is He a lunatic -- who went off on some crazy misconception and got a bunch of individuals to follow Him? Or is He Master -- the Son of God who originated in heaven, modeled a Godly life for us, trained twelve men to determine who is jesus His Kingdom (Church) and then managed to get Himself crucified to pay for the sins of all who would repent and believe in Him? If you say that Jesus is your Master and Messiah, how well do you know Him? How well can you give a detailed answer to someone who asks you about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ? If you talk to a Muslim, they can tell you all about Mohammed. Talk to a Buddhist and they know all about Buda. Talk to a Jehovah's Experience or Mormon and they can quickly go over their respective leader. But how many Christians know the life span and teachings of Jesus and can speak with assurance about His life to others? Our ignorance of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ shows in the behavior in our Christians. The divorce of Christian relationships means that of the world. Where is our faith in Jesus? Christians watch sit-coms that promote sexual immorality and R-rated movies and pretend that it doesn't affect them. Would Jesus watch that kind of "entertainment"? We wonder why so many Christian girls are attire like immoral women and why so many teens are getting pregnant. What does Jesus say about the sanctity of sex being between a couple? Forty percent of Christian men have a problem with pornography. Where's Jesus' influence in their lives? My wife inhibited a lady years ago who went to church, but was sleeping with men she was not married to and bragging about it. Where is Christ in her life? Think about the work place and the community? How many people cheat their employer or deliver less than their full capacity work, yet they call themselves Christians? Think about the file corruption that some business engage in, cheating customers, lying to employers, co-workers or customers, etc. Yet they are in church every SONday, smiling, carrying their Somebody and saying thanks to the minister for that "great sermon". How does that reflect Christ? Our state's number 1 problem is that we have gotten away from following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The only solution is to study everything about Jesus and let Him change us to be the kind of people who look and work like Christians. I have talked with many ministers and Christians and we all agree. The funny thing is that they don't see that it is their congregation that needs to be Learning the needs of Jesus. They somehow apply it to other places of worship, but not their own. You may not know Jesus? If you really do, then why aren't you teaching others for them to come to know Him also? Do really know Jesus? I will claim that if you do, then you know His love for you yet others. If you really like Jesus, you are going to want others to know about Him the way you do so they will live like Christians instead of worldly people.
