Who Do You Say I Am? - Jesus
By Emil C. Liko

Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets of long ago." "But what about you?" He asked, "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (Matthew 16:13-17).

Who do you say Jesus is?

Jesus is someone who could not find everything He wanted to tell you in just one card. He could not even find it in two cards. Instead, He had to write you 66 books to profess His undying love to you.

Jesus is a "wild lover," whose love for you can never be quenched. From the first moment He laid eyes upon you, He could not think of anyone else. He is someone who drops all the cares of the world as soon as you call out His name. His eyes search to and fro until He finds you. His mind is steadfastly set upon you. He cannot get enough of you. He cannot spend enough time with you and He always wants more of you.

We say, "Lord, I have given all I have to you and you still want more!" YES! He wants all the parts of your life that you have never shared with anyone else. He wants even the parts of you that you think no one else could possibly accept about you, but He does. He sits silently waiting for you to come home; waiting like a child anticipating his presents on Christmas morning.

He thinks about you all day long. He whispers sweet things in your ears, "Don't be afraid, I am here with you (Romans 8:15)." "I know you did not mean it, I forgive you (Acts 13:38)." "Hey, you don't need to work so hard to impress me (Romans 4:2)."

And His favorite thing to say to you, "Just remember, I am not like everyone else-I will always be here and I will never turn away from you, no matter what happens! (Joshua 1:5)" No greater, more faithful, more caring, love will you ever know than the LOVE of Jesus!

If you have never experienced this love, only time can bring it about. The time you put into your relationship with Jesus is worth more than anything I can ever express to you. And you WILL find the kindest, sweetest, gentlest Lord and Savior. He is the Lover of your soul and He has built you a mansion awaiting your arrival. There is no greater love than that of One who lays down His life for a friend (like you).

I urge you passionately: Spend some time with Him today…and tomorrow…and the next day…and the next day…and get to know this Love. You'll never regret it!
