In my Evangelism class that I am taking at school, we were posed with a question: Who is Jesus to you? I sat there trying to define Christ and thinking of different names to describe Him when I realized that Christ is truly indescribable.
From being a Savior to Someone who gives me rest, I think that through the different times of my life, who Jesus was to me changed with the circumstances I went through. I grew up in a Christian home and my parents led me to Christ when I was younger so it wasn’t until I was a bit older that my relationship with Christ became more than just a religion — but, a relationship.
So when I was fifteen years old, when I went through a bad breakup, I had to rebuild my trust in The Lord and my parents and even myself. When my dad lost his job, He definitely became the Sustainer of my family. And now, when I’m filled with doubt and stress, and worry about grades, or my major, or my “life plan," He’s the one who brings peace and quietness with His love when life is just so loud.
I think about my testimony and through the things that have happened in my life, I see how we are called to obedience. Whether that’s getting away from a bad relationship or submitting yourself to the Lord so that He will direct your paths — I know that He blesses, abundantly blesses, the obedient.
So that’s what I want to encourage you all with: if you’re struggling with doubt or trust or sin, and that you need to get out of, be obedient. Place yourself in The Word and find people who will pray with you. Seek Christ because at the end of the day, Christ should be our goal and our purpose in life.
And that is my answer for "Who Is Jesus to Me?"
He is my goal and my purpose in life.
