Weekend Sermon -- Who Is Jesus To You?

      Over the course of the last few months, we've been studying some of the names and titles of Jesus that we find in both the Old and the New Testaments. With our message today, we are wrapping up this series. I want to thank everyone for reading the sermons each week. I also want to thank the Lord for the privilege of sharing the sermon each week. 

     All of the names and titles of Jesus that we've studied have important implications for us. These names and titles give us insight into the humanity and deity of Jesus Christ. The names and titles of Jesus allow us to understand more of what He has done for us in the past and present, and what He will provide for those who love Him into eternity. 

     Something we need to consider as we close this series of messages is who is Jesus to you? Jesus asked His disciples in Matthew 16 who people said that He was. Some thought Jesus was a great prophet or one of the great prophets of old come back to life. Jesus moved the conversation along. He asked them who they said that He was. Peter responded by saying that Jesus was the the Christ and the Son of the Living God. 

     Everyone of us has to answer who Jesus is for ourselves. We have to make it personal. You can know all of the information about who Jesus is according to the Bible, but it only counts for time and eternity when you make Jesus your personal Savior and Lord. 

     I hope that everyone reading this blog has come to know Jesus as Savior personally. I hope that you have made Him the Lord of your life and that you are allowing Jesus to lead and guide you in every aspect of your life. I hope that Jesus is your peace and that you are allowing the Good Shepherd to lead you down the paths that He wants you to go. I hope that you have a deep relationship with Jesus and that the names and titles that we've discussed in this series are a reality in your relationship with the Lord Jesus. 

     Maybe you've read some of the messages in this series about Jesus and you have not made Jesus the Savior and Lord of your life. You can do so today. You can always come to Jesus in repentance and faith. Jesus has told us that He would not cast out anyone who comes to Him.

     I've really enjoyed sharing this series of messages with you. Jesus is my Lord, and I love telling others about who He is and what He has done. Amen.

Prayer Requests

     I want to thank the Lord for providing me with some much needed help. I've mentioned on here before that I needed some assistance financially. The Lord has provided, and I am doing much better in that regard. My health has not been that bad lately either. 

     Please pray about what is going on over in Israel. Pray that peace can come. Pray for the release of the hostages. It is a terrible situation all around. Violence needs to end. 

     Continue to pray for peace in the other troubled areas of the world. Ukraine and Sudan both really need our prayers for peace right now. 

     All around the world, there has been an increase in antisemitism and anti Islamic feelings. There is no place for this. Pray and work for an end to all forms of hatred.

     Pray for the people of Acapulco recovering from the hurricane. 

     For our prayer focus countries this week, let us pray for those in the nations of Chad and Morocco. Pray that many will come to know Jesus. 

     Next week, I will have a sermon about thankfulness as it is the time of the Thanksgiving holiday here in my country. After that, we will take time to have sermons for the Advent season. On Monday, I will post the verses. May God bless you all.
