LET JESUS DEFINE YOU

Matt 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?  14And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

 

 

Who do people say that I am? Actually Jesus was not so interested in that answer. He was more interested in knowing who the disciples thought he was. Then Peter said the famous words that you are the Christ, the son of the Living God! Jesus made it clear that this was a revelation from the Father in heaven!

 

I believe in the same way, we should not care so much what everybody else think about us. We should rather ask the Father in heaven who we are. Let him reveal unto us who we truly are. Don’t allow your friends to define you. Don’t allow Hollywood or the fashion industry to define you. Sometimes it’s even important not to let your parents define you. Everybody wants to put you in a box, and try to convince you who you are. Let us do like Jesus. Turn away from all the voices in the world, and ask Jesus: But who say YOU that I am? He will let you know how precious you are, and that you are like a pearl and a treasure. He will let you know that you are more than a conqueror. He will let you know you are loved and that he cant take his eyes away from you.

 

I remember many years ago I talked to an elderly lady that had very low self-image. She told me that when she looked herself in the mirror, she hated what she saw. I told her that she was beautiful, and that her problem was that she looked in the wrong type of mirror. The Bible is called a mirror. Let the mirror of the Bible define you, and you will see how valuable, precious and beautiful you are. Don’t ask facebook, don’t ask Instagram, don’t ask friends, and don’t even your mirror. Let Jesus define you!!
