Who is Jesus to You

Somewhere near Caesarea Philippi, Peter made what we call the great confession about Jesus: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus affirmed that he spoke the truth. It was a watershed moment for Jesus and the disciples - even for the entire world. The Messiah had come, and God had been recognized to be among men. What a glorious moment!
Throughout scripture, Jesus is given numerous names and titles: Everlasting Father, Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace, Immanuel, the Alpha and the Omega, the Son of Man, Savior, Redeemer, the Lamb of God - the list continues, long and impressive. As we acknowledge like Peter that all of these names (and more) are rightly given to Jesus, I want us to consider something more personal for each one of us about Him. Who is Jesus to you? Does anything come to your mind? Let me illustrate...
> Jesus is my hope.
> Jesus is my joy.
> Jesus is my encourager in difficult times.
> Jesus is the One whom I love more than any other.
> Jesus is my peace within.
> Jesus is my protection without.
> Jesus is my daily bread.
> Jesus is my example in all things good.
> Jesus is my strength when I want to quit.
> Jesus is my armor when the devil attacks.
> Jesus is my comfort when I hurt.
> Jesus is my wisdom when I can’t figure it out.
> Jesus is my shepherd when I need a guide.
> Jesus is my light when I’m groping in the dark.
> Jesus is my companion throughout the day.
> Jesus is my Lord when I don’t want to.
> Jesus is the One who hears my prayer in the night.
> Jesus is the love in my heart.
