I realize that the answer to this question cannot be
contained in this writing or any others.
His best friend, John said of him, “Jesus also did many other things. If
every one of them were written down, I suppose the world wouldn't have enough
room for the books that would be written.”
I am more concerned about the general answer of who Jesus
is. As I mentioned yesterday this is not
a theology lesson but rather my thinking deeply about who Jesus is. There are always two ways I approach this
when I need to be reminded. Both are
very restorative for me.
The first is the simple factual answer. Jesus is the incarnation of the living
God. He is aspect of God that became
human so that he could die as a payment for my sin. He is the one who rose from the dead to
complete the physical process of my redemption.
As I approach the season for celebration and gratitude I must endeavor
to know this truth. I must live as if
this is real if I hope for it to have the positive change in me that is
needed.
Whilst the factual part of this is so vital to pin to my thinking
I benefit even more from the impact it has on my heart. I cannot begin to describe Jesus. There are those who have done so much better
than I have. Many years ago I was privileged
to hear a man long gone now describe who Jesus is. Whenever I need to be reminded about Jesus
and his place in my life I listen to this man’ words. Looking at Jesus honestly reminds me who I
follow and why every step matters.

Him out of your mind.

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
