Jesus is the

, God Promised


Luke 9:18-21: Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19 And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” 20 Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”


Luke 9:7-9: Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9 Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he sought to see him.


Every person must make a

about Jesus


Luke 2:11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.


Every Christian must

Jesus the Christ


Application To Consider

Every person must make a profession about Jesus. This means they must decide who Jesus is. some will deny him as God, reject him as Lord and Savior, but call him a good man. Others will declare him the Christ of God. Jesus made it clear that he is the only way to the Father, and demonstrated with his life, death, and ressurection that he alone can restore us to God.

  1. Who is Jesus?
  2. If your answer is anything but the Christ, why is that? What is stopping you from believing Jesus is who he said he is? If you really want to know who Jesus is, ask God to reveal that truth to you. God’s word says seek and you will find. Tell God why you cant believe Jesus is who he said he is, and see if that changes. There is too much on the line to deny Jesus if what Jesus said is true.
  3. If your answer is Jesus is the Christ of God, what does that or your life. If we profess that, and believe it to be true then it should have a dramatic impact on every aspect of our life. So how does that confession impact your daily life, your finances, your dreams, and your hardships? Declaring Jesus, the Christ isn’t a title or a name, it is an acknowledgment of God’s promise, faithfulness, and fulfillment of that promise.
