Who’s Jesus to you?

This Sunday begins a new series of questions to be addressed in effectively reaching the world for Christ. In these three weeks we will answer “Who’s Jesus, What’s Real, and Who’s my neighbor”.

In my growing up years, I was blessed to meet some pretty famous Christian recording artists. One of them had a son who, at the age of nine, used to jokingly say to people, “You don’t know me, you just know of me.” He was saying this as a way to elevate himself or put people in their place. It really made me laugh then, but in recent years has been a comment that has brought a lot of thought. Do we really know people, things, experiences and even God or do we know of Him? Unlike my nine year old friend, Jesus isn’t looking to elevate Himself. As a matter of fact He lowered Himself so that we might have a relationship with Him, through Him and by Him, with the Father. This Sunday, April 6th in the gym, we will be talking about what others say of Jesus, hearing why He came and seeing what He wants to be in us.

I would love to hear your answers to the questions on the Encounter forum as well.

In Christ,
