“When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 16:13-17 NKJV
Who is Jesus to you?
The Revealer of the Kingdom of God. Yeshua performed many healings and miracles, the gospels are filled with many lives transformed by him. His works were a witness of who he is and what he came to do.
When we step back from the theology of his life, we see that Yeshua came not only to be propitiation for us but to give us revelation about the Kingdom of God, bringing the spiritual to the physical. So that we may choose right; life rather than death.
Yeshua made me understand within my limited earthly brain what life in the kingdom of God is like.
Who is Yeshua to you?
The word of life.
A major part of Yeshua’s ministry was his teaching. He taught life. Life from the power of sin. His teaching was completely contrary to the world.
He taught not about the consequence of sin but the root of sin. Adultery starts in the heart. Murder starts in the heart. Peace than conflict. Love than hatred. Forgiveness not malice. Giving more than receiving. Gentleness not aggression. Hope than despair. Truth not lies. Eternal treasure not earthly ones. He taught wisdom that is from heaven not from the world.
Yeshua, the word of God is the word of life and living. The word that transforms life. Just studying and doing his teachings - example in Matthew 5, 6, 7 will transform your life and relationships
Who is Yeshua to you?
Our knowledge of Yeshua is both physical and spiritual. We learn about him from his earthly life. But we know him from a spiritual understanding - by the Holy Spirit and through faith. We also need an experiential knowledge. Not the one after the fact but one where you see and acknowledge him in your life experiences, even when it is not obvious.
Our knowledge of him will help us see him in our breathe, see him in our waking up, see him in every detail of our life. Then he becomes integrated in us at a deeper level of knowledge.
Many of us stay at the head knowledge of Yeshua Jesus. As such it is easy for us to be shaken by our circumstances, because our faith is not rooted deeply in who Yeshua Jesus is. We must be curious and search the Holy Scriptures by the power of the Holy Spirit. Who knows what life transforming nuggets you will find?
We need to also meditate constantly on who he is and who he is to us.
Are you still searching to fill that void my friend? You have heard about Yeshua Jesus but you are sceptical? Unsure? Why not open your heart to know Him today. He is the Son of The Creator God. He is the Saviour of the world, reconciling man back to his creator and the way to the eternal life that was ordained at creation.
He is inviting you into this marvellous relationship with him today. He is at the door of your heart, knocking and waiting for you to open it, that he may come in and enter a life-giving relationship with you. Today. Tomorrow may be too late.
It’s simple to do this; believe in your heart that Jesus is the son of God, raised from the dead and confess with your mouth that He is Lord. And start that wonderful journey with Him immediately. I encourage you to search for a bible teaching fellowship near you for support and your spiritual growth.
