I'm excited and encouraged that you have decided to join me and thousands of others in this 21 day journey to discover more about who Jesus is.

Reflection & Application:

Before we get started here are some words and thoughts for you to consider.

So who is Jesus? It’s the question we are going to be wrestling with throughout this 21 day challenge. There are a lot of opinions about who Jesus was and who He is. I’m often kind of taken aback by people who just summarily dismiss Jesus and think that takes care of it. Wouldn’t everyone have to agree that, at the very least, Jesus was one of the most significant people in all recorded history? I mean, our whole way of dating goes back to before Him and after Him. There’s a movement He started that has permeated every area of the globe, penetrated every culture of the world. The world celebrates two international holidays, dealing with His birth and His claim of resurrection. Even if you are a skeptic, you would have to admit, historically, He is one of the most significant people ever to live. So to have intellectual credibility, you can’t just summarily dismiss Him. You would have to investigate who He was, what His claims were, and whether He was telling the truth or not.

But, it isn’t just the skeptics that wrestle with this question; there’re lots of very religious people who are very confused about the answer of the question: Who is Jesus? We could narrow the scope further and say there are many Christians who still are very confused about who Jesus is. There are many myths that need to be dispelled in order to better understand the truth of who Jesus is. Someone might ask the question, “What difference does this make?” The answer is, “It makes all the difference! Only when one cultivates a right view of Jesus do you begin to experience the intimacy and the life that your soul longs for. It makes all the difference.”

We look forward to your comments and questions below!

Then God came to earth, as flesh, the only way anything in creation can be reconciled to God , is though Christ. He is the Savior of the world, He became incarnate, and took on human flesh. He humbled himself and became a fetus. He grew inside one he had created, for nine months, and then allowed himself to be born in a smelly , dirty , stableGod incarnate was wrapped in dirty rags, and laid in a feeding trough, Christ entered his own creation to reconcile it back to himself and the Father. God got hungry, and breastfed. He burped and spit up, God allowed his created ones to change his diaper.He went though puberty, and cut his toenails. God became a person.

Who is God? Jesus ask Peter, Who do you say I
Am? Peter answered “ You are the Christ “. Mark 8 -29. When we look upon the carpenter from Nazareth, we discover God In totality, the Almighty, the One true Creator, Christ is the first person to appear in creation , and He is preeminent in all of it, All Things visible, and invisible were created by him , thought him, to Him , and for Him. Jesus originator, as well as the goal. Christ existed before time as the eternal Son . He is above time, outside time , He is the beginning and was before beginning. Space and time are His servants, and our great Almighty left heaven, and came to us, to save us , and make all that believe, and obey him his children, thank you Lord!

Psalms 119-71-73. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn your statutes. The Law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. Your hands made me ; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments. Before God would change me: he had to break me, so I could sin by sin, as he did, then God the spirit continues in me, teaching me He’s way of living my life, and he gives me the power, and strength to carry that out,

Ephesians 6:10, and 2 Timothy 1;7 . God had not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, as his children , fighting against satan, God is all power, and has given us this power to fight, this is a gift from God. He has reminded us that he promised, as his soldiers, that he will protect, and keep us strong. I reminded myself of this, every time I step into this world of darkness knowing that I am not alone, the creator of everything, is with me, and with everyone who has given their self to him in faith,

Hebrews 9 11-14. But Christ has appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, In the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands , he enter the most holy place once for all time , not by the blood of goats, and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats, bulls , and the ashes of a young cow, sprinkling those who are defiled , sanctifying for the purification of the flesh, How much more will the blood of Christ, who though the eternal Spirit - offered himself without blemish to God!!! Before Jesus took his last breath, He said” It is finished’ My battle with sin is over, because I am a child of God, he doesn’t see my past, he sees the blood shed for me by my Savior.
