🎙️ 25-314: Who Is Jesus Christ?

Everything about your life — your peace, your purpose, your eternity — hinges on one question: Who is Jesus Christ?Not “Who is He to culture?” Not “Who was He in history?” But Who is He to you?

Every generation must face this question. Some call Him a revolutionary. Others, a moral teacher. Still others, a myth. But Jesus never gave humanity that option. He claimed divinity. He forgave sins. He accepted worship. He healed the sick and raised the dead — and then declared, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58).

That statement shook history. Because “I AM” was the personal covenant name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3. Jesus didn’t claim to be like God; He claimed to be God. That’s not a small distinction — it’s the entire dividing line between truth and blasphemy, between salvation and delusion.

If Jesus is who He said He is, then every other belief system collapses before Him. You can’t simply add Him to your list of spiritual influencers. You either crown Him Lord of all, or you deny Him altogether. There is no middle ground.

Colossians 1:15-17 tells us:“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created… and in Him all things hold together.”

That means the voice that spoke galaxies into motion is the same voice that calls your name today. The One who formed the oceans also formed your heart — and He’s not distant, He’s personal.

When you look at Jesus, you’re seeing what God looks like in human form. His compassion shows you the Father’s heart. His authority shows you Heaven’s power. His sacrifice shows you divine love with skin on.

Let me say it plainly: Jesus is not an accessory to your faith. He is your faith. Every doctrine, every promise, every victory flows from Him.

We live in a time when people want a customizable Christ — a Jesus who fits their politics, preferences, or feelings. But the real Jesus doesn’t fit inside human molds. He breaks them. He overturns tables. He comforts sinners but never condones sin. He calls you higher, not because He’s demanding, but because He’s holy.

Knowing who Jesus is means you stop negotiating truth and start living it. It changes the way you love your family, make decisions, and view eternity. When Jesus becomes Lord, your priorities realign. Your fear loses its grip. Your faith finds its foundation.

And let’s get practical — knowing Jesus isn’t an intellectual exercise; it’s a relational pursuit. You don’t “study” Him like a historical figure; you walk with Him as a living Savior. You talk to Him while folding laundry, while driving, while facing decisions. He’s not a theology to memorize — He’s a Person to know, love, and follow.

When you truly know Him, religion fades and relationship flourishes. You start hearing His voice in the noise of life — the same voice that spoke stars into being now whispers peace into your storms.

📖 SCRIPTURE ANCHOR

John 14:9 (ESV) — “Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.”

💡 LIVING PRINCIPLE

Jesus didn’t come to improve your life — He came to redeem it. Knowing Him isn’t an upgrade; it’s a resurrection.

⚔️ DAILY ACTION

Speak the name of Jesus aloud in your home today. Over your children. Over your worries. Over your schedule. The name that silences demons still shifts atmospheres.

✅ PRACTICE (Do This...)

* Read one Gospel chapter aloud — Matthew 1 or John 1.

* Write down every word Jesus uses to describe Himself.

* End the day by thanking Him for three ways He’s shown Himself real this week.

💥 CHALLENGE OF THE DAY

When someone asks about your faith, don’t talk about religion — talk about Jesus. Tell one person who He truly is to you.

🙏 PRAYER

Father, thank You for sending Jesus — not as an example to admire but as a Savior to follow. Strip away the noise, the doubts, and the opinions. Let me see Christ clearly and love Him deeply. Reveal His heart in my home, His strength in my weakness, and His truth in my decisions. In Jesus’ name, amen.

🔥 IN CLOSING

Jesus is not one of many ways — He is the way. He’s not a concept — He’s a King.When you know who He is, you finally discover who you are.
