Who is Jesus to you?

Our world views Jesus in various ways:
Teacher, wise one, enlightened, good guy, but . . . . not God incarnate!

Jesus’ own family thought Him to be crazy until the resurrection

The world in Jesus’ day denied Him, thought He was a false Messiah, maybe a lunatic

C. S. Lewis said: "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.

Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse.

You can shut him up for a fool; you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. Has has not left that open to us."

Hopefully, you will come to know Him as LORD – Master – Ruler – Owner of your life!

Jesus bought me with a price, His life for mine, I belong to Him (bondservant, slave)

BONDSERVANT:
- Doulos: "One who is subservient to, and entirely at the disposal of, his master; a slave."
- Often translated, bondservant, servant or slave.
- The Hebrew word for "bondservant," ebed, had a similar connotation.

A BOND SERVANT
- Romans 1:1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ
- Phil. 1:1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ
- James 1:1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Jude 1 Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

When it finally hits you, who you are and who Jesus is, then you will say with all your heart:

The Lord is my Strength, my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, my Refuge, my Stronghold, my Hope!

THE LORD, HE IS MY SAVIOR!

RESURRECTION – TRUE OR FALSE? BET YOUR LIFE - IT IS ALL TRUE!!

Because of the RESURRECTION, you can know with all your heart:

THE MOST POWERFUL GOD FORGIVES YOU!

Bask in this truth!!
"Because I live, you will also live" - John 14:19
