“What is Jesus to me?” He is my Lord, He is my Savior, and He is my
Rock and Redeemer. He pursued me, sought
me when I was a stranger, and bought me, with his own blood! He is the Creator, for everything was made by
Him, for Him and is sustained by Him. He
made the stars and placed them and gave each one their names. He is my Shield, my Refuge in times of
trouble, when the world crumbles around me, when the arrows of the enemy fly in
my direction He protects me. He is solid
ground for which I can plant my feet.
In Jesus I am free, I am free to be what I was made to be,
for my purpose is found in Him. He
empowers me with His word and He sends the Spirit to comfort, train and to
guide me. Through Christ all the
relationships around me find their place.
My relationship with my wife is sweeter, my love for my children deeper
and I see my neighbor in a new light.
He saved us, He is the kindness of God displayed for the
world to see, He is love, truth and grace personified. He rescued me not because of my works of righteousness,
but through the Holy Spirit, who convicted me of sin, righteousness and judgment
and pointed me to Him who can alone save me. The Father poured
out this Spirit abundantly through Jesus Christ my Savior so that, having been
justified by His grace I become a heir with the hope of eternal life. Everything I am is because Christ.
His grace overwhelms me—to think He would die for me is too
lofty for me to comprehend, it’s beyond my reach to grasp. He has awakened me to a love that surpasses
everything I can know, my sin, my failures, my triumphs all rest in his sure hands,
for which I gladly give to him. He is
God in flesh, full of glory and truth, the Bright and Morning Star. He is my Shepard, the Bread of Life, and The
Living Water. He is the Author and
Finisher of my faith and the Alpha and the Omega, who has and always existed. That
is the Christ I think about and for which I am thankful for. This is the Jesus
for whom I worship and adore.
