I am sitting at work, doing my thing and all of a sudden I was filled with such an urgency to write about Christ.
There is a conversation Jesus has with Peter;
– Luke 9:18-20 “Once when Jesus was praying in private and His disciples were with Him, He asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”
“But what about you?” He asked. “Who do you say I am?”(red letter)
I feel this question is the most important question every believer needs to ask themselves and pray about. We may think we have the “right” answers, or have heard moving or inspiring opinions from others which we have chosen to grab onto and make our own. Some can comb over the scriptures and have books of the bible memorized but have no real understanding of who Jesus truly is to them, in their lives.
How can we truly love Christ, appreciate fully what He has done for us if our faith, and our love is based on clichés? I am not saying that these clichés are wrong, what I am saying is we need to know why we love Him, personally and sincerely.
How can we fully love someone if we don’t know why we personally chose to love Him and to follow Him?
My prayer is that every follower will delve into their faith and ask the question, “Why do I love Him?”
This question will strengthen our faith, dramatically strengthen our witness/testimony and will cause us to fall further and further in love with Jesus.
Be blessed and seek more of Him!

This is a wonderful question to think about and consider. I’ll think about my answer in the days to come 🙂 Thanks for writing!
