Thoughts for Easter
The question of “who is Jesus” is the most important question that we
must ask and answer for ourselves. If he is simply a 1 st century son of a
carpenter who rose to prominence by deceiving other people, then we
do not need to pay him much attention. However, if Jesus is who he
claimed to be, and accomplished what he claimed to accomplish – then
he is something else entirely. He is the God who created the universe,
and someone that asks for our love, but deserves our submitted
service. Who is Jesus to you? Where do you go from here?
