The Jesus Questions

JUNE 30   JQ#18-4    “But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15) This will be another short post today because my path has me at a Bible Camp with 3rd - 6th graders — short posts were elected over “no posts” because this question deserves all the attention we can give it because if Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) then if we cannot answer all the right questions about Jesus, how can we know what is the right and true path to take to eternal life? There is no other question that God will pose to You than who you think Jesus is, either the Bible is God’s Word and the only Truth or we are already doomed to an eternal nothingness and our life will have no purpose and the lack of purpose is the curse of this generation that has more “free time” than any generation before them and yet with all this “free time” available the world has turned to meaningless entertainment that has no meaning and just adds to the problem of us finding purpose and meaning for our lives — if you choose to look for the meaning of life in secular philosophies then  you will find that the answer is simply not there — so then you are left with only one option to find the “TRUTH” and the Bible tells us “God is Truth” so then our problem is knowing which god is God? It will be a long, long journey to “TRUTH” if you try each god and you make the choice to try everything but the Bible first because the “deceiver” has made sure to present you with so many options and distractions yelling all along “ignore the man behind the curtain”. When you finally get around to really reading the Bible, you will come to one single truth, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Because that verse points to the TRUTH the “deceiver” has done everything he can to make fun of the GPS verse in God’s Word that points to the only path to the TRUTH and eternal life. The entire story is details of how God planned and is going to accomplish John 3:16 but it is your choice to make, and once you start down the path, you will have to answer that all-important eternal question that Jesus asks you with His still small voice, “But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15)
