Who is Jesus to You?
In my early years, I attended a
Methodist church with my Mom. I remember learning "Onward Christian
Soldiers" and that Jesus was a teacher, a healer, a miracle-worker, and God's
Son - and I believed those things. That is all what Jesus was to me as I grew
up. Something was missing, though. They had fallen short of teaching something
important.
Jesus knew I was satisfied with
what I had learned in those days. He didn't speak to my heart until I was
ready. He used some people in a Baptist
church to bring the Gospel to me, when I was about 25 years old. I realized
that all those things I had been taught were true, but that Jesus was much more
than simply those things. He died on the cross to be my Savior. I believed
that, and still do. I prayed and asked God to save me - He had time for me and
saved me.
This passage records that Jesus
performed miracles and many believed. Yet, it says that Jesus did not commit
Himself unto them because He knew them. As God, He could see into their
hearts. Some believed in Jesus as far as
a miracle-worker. Some came to for
healing and that is all, some came for the show and that's as far as their
belief went. Jesus didn't waste any more
time with them.
I praise God that Jesus is now much
more to me than a teacher, healer, miracle-worker and God's Son - He is my
Savior and much more! Who is Jesus to you?
