In today's Gospel, Jesus asks his apostles who people say he is. Then he asked who they said he was. That made me think: To the world, who is this Jesus? I hear he was a good man, a prophet, an historical figure, an enlightened master, a champion of social justice, misguided, non-existent. Even people who claim to be Christian will sometimes answer first with one of the above. It just isn't politically correct to "believe" anymore, is it?
So I asked myself, who do I say Jesus is? (I know, not really fair) Here is what I wrote, in the order in which I wrote: The Son of God, My Lord & My Savior (who died for my sins and rose from the dead), My Love & My Life, My One & My All, My Lord & My God.
All I need is found in Him.
All I desire is within His hands.
He is that for which I long.
His is the breath that sustains me.
It is within His Sacred Heart that I place all my trust.
Would that my mind and heart were one, united in my desire, joined to my true Love, working together to do His Will.
**Who do people say you are? If they wouldn't say you are a Christian...why not?
