Who Is Jesus To Me?

Christ is truly indescribable.

Who Is Jesus To Me?

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.
