Who Do You Say He Is?

Jesus asked, "But who do you say I am?"  (Matthew 16:15)   He asked this of His disciples then, but He asks it of His followers still today.

There is a moment that comes for the followers of Jesus, where Jesus becomes more than an historical figure, more than an idea or concept, more than a great teacher to help us know the moral way to live, more than merely the words I say, or the Being my prayers are addressed to.  There is a moment when Jesus becomes more than just a miracle working prophet, the One Who is Lord of all because through Him ask things were made, because through Him I can find the very purpose for which I was created.

There comes a moment when Jesus becomes not just the Lord but my Lord, and I surrender my life to follow Him.  I put Him at the center of my life. 

And this can be that moment!
