Who is the Lord Jesus Christ to You?

We live in an age dominated by all kinds of public opinion polls. Decisions are being driven by the crowd, and some of that is good. Surveys can inform us about people’s experiences with products, helping us make wiser purchases. Opinion polls can give government officials a sense of how their policy initiatives will be received. While information gleaned is a matter of personal opinion, it can be helpful in shaping decision-making on a variety of levels.

But when it comes to the most important question for all eternity, a public opinion poll cannot give us the answer. We must answer for ourselves. In Matthew 16, Jesus took His disciples to Caesarea Philippi and asked a question about public opinion: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” (v.13). The answers were varied, and all were complimentaryâ€"but none was adequate. That’s why Jesus then asked His disciples, “But who do you say that I am?” (v.15). Peter got the answer right: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (v.16).

Public opinion can help answer certain questions, but not the one question that will determine your eternity: Who do you say that Jesus is? If you agree with Scripture, and place your trust in Christ, you will have eternal life.

He is my God and Savior who died on the cross for  the sins of the whole world
and those who choose Him will have eternal life in heaven and avoid the penalty of
unquenchable, eternal lake of fire.

That was a very well worded and honest point of view, Statesville.

Michael Ligalig asked, "Who is Jesus Christ to you?"

Several weeks ago, I found a poem written by Fr. Frank Pavone entitled, "Jesus Christ the King", which I believe answers the question raised.

Jesus Christ the King

by: Fr. Frank Pavone


Of every pond and stream that flows,

Of every rock and pebble small,

Of every river and ocean wide,

Out every mountain vast and tall,



Of every moon and star above,

Of every storm and rain and hail,

Of sleet and fog, of ice and smog,

Of summer breeze and winter gale,



Of every island in the sea,

Of every animal that walks,

Or crawls or swims or flies or rests,

Or chirps or barks or howls or squawks,



Of every place by men unknown,

Not yet discovered or explored,

Of every height and every depth,

Of sites beloved and abhorred,



Of every kingdom, empire, state,

Dominion, country, monarchy

Of village small and city great

Of men of power and majesty,



Of house and home and property,

Of kitchen and of living room,

Of bedroom, hallway, stairway long,

Of playground and of working room,



Of every act, desire, and wish,

Longing, passion, weakness, strength,

Of every heart that longs and laughs,

And cries and tries and waits at length,



Of all who suffer and who wait

For justice or for daily bread,

Of all who triumph and are glad,

Of all who middle paths do tread,



Of every woman, man and child,

Of every creature large and small,

Of every sinner, saint and angel,

Jesus Christ is King of all!



Yes He is King; yes, Christ is King!

No start or end and never failing,

His reign engulfs infinity

O'er all existing things prevailing.



Yet men are weak and often question

When many evil things they see.

Christ waits for them to realize

That He is wiser than are we.



He is aware of all that is,

He knows our problems, needs and fears,

His Providence is now at work

And Jesus’ final triumph nears.



Then let us rise in greater faith

To tell the world of His great name,

That when the King returns, we may

For lack of faith not blush with shame. Amen!

......my friend...maski di nako makita, I can still feel His presence....I know He is always there for me!

[fdaray]

Jesus Christ is my friend, my God, my Savior, and my Comforter.

Jesus Christ Is the Only begotten Son of the Eternal Living God.

He is Heaven's Perfect Sacrificial Lamb.

He is the Salvation of Sinners.

He is Truth, The Way and the Life.

It is only through Jesus that we can come to The Father. (John 14:6)

The Lord Jesus Christ provides the following: Justification, Sanctification, Absolution, Strength, Forgiveness, SALVATION!
