MEDITATION - From the Desk of Shel White

Jesus can be many different things to different people. Some consider him to be the Son of the living God, others just a kind man who was a good teacher. Some view Jesus as the powerful God who makes a huge difference; others only see him as a man that only fools would follow. Jesus asked Peter, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Messiah the Son of the living God."

I believe Jesus wants to know from each of us the same question: Who do you say that I am? Perhaps we would have a different answer at different times in our lives. I am certain the more we spend time developing that relationship with Jesus, the more we can enjoy him as our Messiah, the Son of the living God.

Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.' John 6.35

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.' John 8:12

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me. John 10.14
