"Who do you say that I am?"

Luke 9:10-20

“Who do you say that I am?” was the question that Jesus asked his disciples and the question that he is asking me tonight.  Peter answered the question.  His response may be worded differently in the many Bible translations…God’s Messiah, The Christ of God, The Messiah of God, but they all mean the same.  He came from God, he is the Christ, and he is our Messiah!  So as I ponder over this question I have so many things come to mind about who he really is.  I can say all the correct terms like Savior, King, Messiah, Christ and so on, but who do I say that he is?  Who do I know him to be?  He is all the things mentioned previously, but he is also so much more than those words to me, he is my friend, my father, my comforter, my guide…he is the one that will always be there when I call on him even if it is the middle of the night.  He is there to wrap his arms around me and hold me when I have no words left to say.  And while I don’t see or feel him in the physical, he is still the realest thing I know.  I can’t explain the comfort, strength, confidence and love that he places within me, but I know it is there and that it came straight from him.  He may be the Savior to the world, but he is the one that has saved me from this world.   What would I say to him if he asked me who do you say that I am?  I don’t know what I would say except my Jesus and then I would probably just lie at his feet.  He means so much to me that I don’t know if there are any words that can relay that to him.  And quite honestly, I don’t think it is words that he wants from us, but it is our lives that he desires to have.  He wants our heart, our mind, and our soul to long for him and him only.  So who do you say that He is?
