Jesus is my…
“Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”” (Mark 8:27-29 WEB)
It didn’t matter what others said about Jesus.
For Peter, it only mattered who he said Jesus was.
When Peter declared that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus could be the Christ to him.
In Jesus’ parable of the talents, the third servant who only received one talent said that the Lord was a hard man who reaped where He did not sow.
““He also who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter. I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.’ “But his lord answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter. You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.” (Matthew 25:24-27 WEB)
The servant had a bad opinion of the Lord, and what he said about the Lord affected the way he lived.
The servant lived without using the gracious gift that was given to him, being fearful instead of faithful.
What you say about the Lord will affect what you experience of Him.
There are many titles about the Lord in the Bible, and these are good for declaring.
When you confess “The Lord Jesus is my…” don’t do it robotically or ritualistically. Go further by envisioning what that particular title means, and imagine Him being exactly that to you.
If you say “Jesus is my Shepherd”, then see yourself led by Him to the waters, grazing on grassy meadows, resting in His lap, and protected from wolves.
When you say that Jesus is your Shepherd, He will be a Shepherd to you. When you call Him your high tower, He will be your place of protection. When you call Him Prince of Peace, you will receive His perfect shalom peace.
Who is Jesus to you? This is question that you must answer for yourself based on God’s word!
