Who Is Jesus to Me?

Published: Feb. 18, 2023, midnight

b'Throughout history, people have asked the question, \\u201cWho is Jesus?\\u201d\\nSome consider Him to be a good man, a prophet, a teacher. Others believe\\nthat He is in fact God, but consider Him to be distant, unknowable,\\nunapproachable. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself the question, \\u201cWho is\\nJesus Christ to me?\\u201d\\n.\\nI believe Jesus is the Son of God, my Savior and King, but He\\u2019s also my\\nclosest friend. The only One I can have complete and total faith in. The\\nOne who will always be there to listen to me when I need Him most. The One\\nwho understands me when no one else can. He is approachable, relatable, and\\nI can talk to Him wherever and whenever.\\n.\\nThere are times when I feel a variety of emotions all at once: joy, anger,\\nfrustration, sadness, anxiety\\u2026 but whatever my feelings are, I know I can\\ngo to Jesus with them, and He will understand me perfectly. When I want to\\ntalk to someone and no one is there to listen, Jesus is. When I feel alone\\nand afraid and like no one understands, Jesus does. When my own confused\\nfeelings threaten to drag me down under and I need someone to lift me up,\\nJesus pulls me out of the mire and comforts me with His gentle touch. When\\nI feel worthless, empty, uncared for and helpless, Jesus knows and calls me\\nprecious. He tells me that, to Him, I\\u2019m beautiful and loved, I\\u2019m the\\ndaughter He died to save.\\n.\\nWho is Jesus? He is my Protector, Lover, Comforter, Savior, Friend. \\n.\\nThat\\u2019s who Jesus is to me. \\u2022 Eliana Canfield\\n.\\n\\u2022 Since before the beginning of time, God had a plan to make the way for us\\nto have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ (Ephesians\\n1:4-5). He is the God of the universe, and yet He wants you to know Him\\npersonally! If you have questions about what it means to know Jesus, who is\\na trusted Christian you could talk to? (You can also find out more on our\\n\\u201cKnow Jesus\\u201d page.) \\n.\\n\\u2022 In Matthew 16:13-17, what questions did Jesus ask? How did Peter respond?\\n.\\n\\u2022 Why is it important for us to consider the question, \\u201cWho is Jesus Christ\\nto me?\\u201d\\n.\\nWhom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My\\nhealth may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength\\nof my heart; he is mine forever.
