There are two questions that every person must answer and how we answer these two determine everything about this life and the life to come. So, what are the questions? The first most important question is this: “Who do you say that Jesus is?” And the second is like it: “How will you live based on your answer to number one?”
So, who do you say Jesus is? Many people have many different opinions. In fact if you just randomly interviewed people on the street, some would say a good teacher, a prophet, a great philosopher, a religious leader or some must even say, who?
But the question is, who do you say Jesus is? In the gospel of John 8:58 Jesus makes an interesting statement. In a discussion of the religious leaders of his day, they were having a big debate about their father Abraham. They were claiming that they didn’t believe Jesus because they followed Abraham. Jesus then made the statement that before Abraham was I AM. After he said that the Pharisees picked up stones and wanted to kill him. Why did they want to stone him for saying I AM? It’s because he was claiming to be God. He was claiming the name of God used by God himself in Exodus chapter 3.
According to Jesus, He thought He was God. Now we have a choice. Will we agree with Him or not. If we agree that Jesus is God then how will we live our life based on that answer.
