ARTICLE: Who Do You Say I Am? (By Udeme Okon Effiong)




WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?

INTRODUCTION:
Jesus in Luke 9:18-22 asked his disciples this question.
    
Who do you say I am?
In other words,
 What is my identity?

There are many Attributes or Identities of Christ, but I will present you with only ten(10) identities of Jesus to the world with bible references, while you ask yourself who Jesus really is in your life.

THE AIM:
The aim of this splash is to awaken you to the knowledge of the one you call your Saviour and make you develop the intuitive reasoning of the one you worship (as instructed in Col. 3:10) at all time.

               What is my identity?
                Who do you say I am?


"All things bright and beautiful, all things fine and wonderful
The Lord God made them all, this quote we know all".
"For He has created all things and for His pleasure He made all things"

One thing makes me sad, a particular question we have not answered
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

The same question the disciples of Christ except Peter couldn't answer, still christ disciples of our generation are yet to answer.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

1. Ps 2:8, Phl 2:6-11, Hebr 1:6 and Col 1:15 identifies Him as the HEIR of all things.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

2. Col 1:16, John 1:3 and Rom 11:36 identifies Him as the CREATOR of all things.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

3. Col 1:17 identifies Him as Sustainer and Controller of all things by the words of his power: just by speaking, he governs all things.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

4. Because of His ability to live forever; Hebr 5:6 and Hebr 7:24-25 identifies Him as God's final and permanent prophet.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

5. Hebr 1:2 identifies Him as God's final word.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

6. John 14:9, Luke 10:22 and Col 1:15-23 identifies Him as the Exact representative of the Father's nature: meaning you can only see the Father through Him. According to 1 Tim 6:16: God's dwelling is unapproachable.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

7. Hebr 1:3 and Col 2:9 identifies Him as the radiance of the Father's glory.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

8. Phil 2:5-11 and John 6:38-39 identifies Him as God's priest who made purification for our sins.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

9. Hebr 7:25, Hebr 8:6, Rom 8:34 and 1 Tim 2:5 identifies Him as the Great intercessor and great mediator.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

10. Hebr 1:3-13 and Hebr 8:1 identifies Him as God's King who is enthroned at the right of the Majesty on high.
                   "What is my identity?
                    Who do you say I am?"

Now;
Rom 8:15-18 and Gal 4:4-7 as given us confidence of ruling with Christ.
But;
Eph 1:18 says you can only share in Christ inheritance if you know Him.

He is asking you today:
                   "What is my identity?
What is my position in your Life?
First or Last?
A priority of just a wish?
                     Who do you say I am?"
