Last night was a time of solemn praise as we remembered Jesus on the cross. Again the question "Who do you say that I am?" was asked. It seems to be a question hard to answer, one described as haunting. It's a question you think you know the answer to until you are called upon to answer it.
On this Saturday, the last day of Holy Week, let us take time to answer the question Jesus asked of His disciples, "Who do you say that I Am?" It is essential if we are to be witnesses of Jesus. In Revelation it says, "They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the power of their testimony." Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world; we are the ones to give testimony of that good news. As we are faithful witnesses we are empowered to overcome all things. It's a great partnership.
Tomorrow morning we will gather as witnesses have been doing for 2008 years now. We will celebrate that Christ is risen! And when you hear those words you may want to answer as people have been doing for thousands of years, "Christ is risen indeed!"
Make your way to church....any church...and hear the good news of Jesus. Sing, pray and worship the King of King and the Lord of Lords. At Holy Cross I will be preaching a sermon entitled "Do Not be Afraid, Go and Tell" based on the words the angel said to the women who went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus and also what the risen Jesus said to those same women when he encounter them. There is no fear in doing the best thing you can do for someone; connecting a person to Jesus is just that. It's time to loose all fear and go and tell.
As I said last night we each experience Jesus in our own way. Therefore there is no right or wrong answer to the question. So go ahead and work on it.....I am...and when I am done I will share it with you. Peace be with you!
