The sweetest confession any of us will ever make is this: "I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and I want him to be Lord of my life." Let's repeat it, out loud, to the glory of God the Father: "I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and I want him to be Lord of my life." What other people say about Jesus and what they believe about Jesus is not the focus of the Lord's question to Peter. Who do I say that Jesus is? Will you answer like Peter? I think we should. So, let's say it again for the third time: "I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and I want him to be Lord of my life." Now, let's commit that before the year ends, we will invite someone else to say these words for the first time in their life!
My Prayer...
Thank you, Lord God Almighty, for having a plan that brought me your Messiah, Jesus. I believe, dear God, that he is your Son, and I want him to be the Lord of my life, and I want him to be my Lord for the rest of my days. I pray this in the name of Jesus, your Son, and my Savior. Amen.
"These words contain God's command to the believer when he is reduced to great straits and brought into extraordinary difficulties. He cannot retreat;...."
"God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking...."
