Pick A Jesus… Any Jesus...
“But what about you? Jesus asked. Who do you say I am?”
Matthew 16:15
Jesus is acceptable — as long as people define
him the way they want!
For some, Jesus was the original radical -
a 'power to the people' socialist that was against
an oppressive ruling class where everyone is equal
and all are provided for. For others he’s all about doing
your own thing/can’t we all just get-along kind of
guy where anything goes as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone,
and lastly he may be one of the great ascended masters
showing the way to a higher plane of consciousness and wholeness.
However when Jesus asked Peter, he responded that he was
none of these, but was THE CHRIST — the anointed one
from God who was the Messiah and Saviour of the World.
You see, Jesus is NOT about politics (the Radical) or
personalities (Popular Culture) or pundits (a Guru).
As Peter said, the 'who' Jesus is is far beyond
these popular 'truths' that seek to please a
particular view of the world, social lifestyle, or type
of spirituality.
This leaves all of us with the same question —
Who Do YOU Say Jesus Is? and why?
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
