Thursday May 15, 2008: James 2:1-9; Mark 8:27-33

The great questioned posed to the Apostles by Jesus is, “Who do you say that I am?” It is the same question Jesus asks every one of us today. Who is Jesus Christ to you? Is he some nice great guy that once lived in this world? Is he one of the great prophets that lived? Who is he to you? Have you ever asked yourself this question? It is an important question every Christian should honestly try to answer. If we do not know who Jesus Christ is to us personally, it would be difficult to develop a concrete relationship of love with him. If you do not know your spouse, how can you build a long life relationship with him? For me, Jesus Christ is a brother, a friend and redeemer. I can always count on him being there for me through both difficult and easy times; joyful and sorrowful times. I can count on him to lay down his life again for me any moment and any time. I will not hesitate to do same for him.

Who is Jesus Christ to you? Can you give of your life for him?
