I was reading in Matthew 16 this morning. As Jesus was travelling with His disciples He turned and asked them the most important question they would ever have to answer: “Who do you say I am?”
Peter responded correctly by confessing, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
As I reflected on this passage, I found myself imagining Jesus posing the same question to me: “Kathy, who do you say I am?”
My heart welled up with praise as I responded with words that I hope genuinely convey an ever-increasing reality in my life: ”Jesus, you are my Savior and my King. You are the radiance of the glory of God, my redeemer, my restorer, and the healer of my brokenness. You are my refuge, my peace, my wisdom, my hope and my strength. You are my protector and my provider. You know me completely and love me unconditionally. You are my husband and my closest friend. You are my treasure, my joy, and my sweetest delight. You are the satisfier of my soul. You are my everything.”
Take some time to contemplate this question for yourself – it is the most important one that you will ever answer.
