The Gospel of Luke 9:20 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.” (Luke 9:20 KJV).

It is not what people of the world might view the Lord Jesus Christ - then and now, that matters. It is not what religion and religious Jews and of these days religion thinks about Him that matters. Whether it’s the crowd, or enemies of the Lord Jesus may think of and about Him, as they conceive Him to be, it's not what matters. The Lord Jesus’ concern about what His disciples knew of the truth about Him, is what matters. Yeah, theirs and our knowledge of the truth of Him is what matters the most to the Lord. For to all who believe, He would leave His mission. In the disciples’ hands and ours, He entrusted to proclaim the Gospel - that is of the Grace of God (Acts 20:24) to all creation (Mark 16:15).

All believers would be called upon to put their lives on the line (Matthew 10:22). Every believer would be called to move from being merely followers to become laborers together with God (1 Corinthians 3:9), with the apostles whose footsteps we now follow. Apostle Peter answered the Lord’s question for them and for us who believe: "You are the Messiah sent from God!" So, who is the Lord Jesus to you? Is he your Messiah, the gift sent from God to save you? If not, what stands in your way?

The Lord Jesus is asking you: “But who do you say that I am?” Is He your Messiah? Do you rest in His grace by entering in His presence and have Him be your Savior? Let Him be, now! This moment and time! If you haven’t, the holy Scriptures exhort: “Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:1-2 ESV).

So, wherever you are now, proclaim these by the words of your mouth from your heart: "Lord Jesus, I come before your presence, believing you are the Son of God (Acts 16:31). Thank you that I'm beloved by you (Jeremiah 31:3; John 3:16; Romans 8:38-39) and I surrender to your love for you are love (1 John 4:16). Thank you for making me a new creation in You (2 Corinthians 5:17) and now I am the righteousness of God by Your Grace (2 Corinthians 5:21). In the most holy name of Christ Jesus this I declare, AMEN!" 

And I say, AMEN!
