The Greatest Question of our Lives

Is not where we will go to college, what career we will choose, or who we will marry.

The greatest question of our lives, is the same question Jesus asked His disciples over 2000 years ago:  “Who you you say that I am?”  Matthew 16: 15

So, who do we say He is?  Prophet?  Teacher?  Moral Leader?  Great man?  Personal Savior?  King of Kings?  Lord of all Creation?

C.S. Lewis once famously wrote that Jesus could not simply be a “good man, prophet, teacher, or leader.”  Why?  Because He said some pretty crazy stuff.  What did He say?

He said He was the Son of God.  Luke 2: 49

He said He could forgive sins.  Mark 2: 10

He said His words  would last forever.  Matthew 24: 35

He said He was the Son of Man who would return in power.  Mark 14: 61-62 & Daniel 7: 13-14

He allowed Himself to be worshipped.  Mark 14: 33

Jesus was either who He said He was, or He was a lunatic or something even worse.

Thus, for all of us, the greatest question is:  who is Jesus?

At Bellwether, we have begun a 12 week series on the Apostles’ Creed, focusing on each statement of belief in the Creed.  This week, we look at “And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.”  Thus, for us, is Jesus Lord?  Lord of our lives?  Lord of all creation?

The truth is – He is.  We only hope He is for you.

Our Scripture this Sunday is Ephesians 2: 1-7.  We hope you have a great weekend, and hope to see you at church this Sunday, where we will worship Jesus for who He is:  Lord of all.  Make Him Lord of your life.
