Who do you say that I am?

"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered and said to Him, 'You are the Christ.' " Mark 8:29

I believe that we are each faced with the Mark 8:29 question on a daily basis. When circumstances seem overwhelming or the economy takes a nose dive. Perhaps your health isn't what it should be or you feel envoloped by the weight of sin... Jesus poses the same question, "Who do you say that I am?".

I think that every time we sing "This is Our God" I like the song even more. I was struck yesterday by the powerful picture that the song paints of who our God is. Not as a weak misunderstood man or even a good prophet, but as love personified. Freely giving His life so that we can live. He is our Savior, Deliverer, Provider, Healer, Redeemer!

When we choose to believe that God is all of these things and more and live our lives as forgiven sons and daughters, we are saying to the world, " THIS is Our God"! Our lives are painting the picture of a God that is LOVE. Not just a picture in a stained glass window but a powerful Savior!
