TO THE BIBLE - John 14:6-7 KJV
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him”

LET’S TALK
“Is Jesus really God?” This is one question many still ask today, especially among teenagers who are growing in their understanding of God and asking honest questions about their faith. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is
Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh – Jesus – and dwelt among us, meaning that God came close to us and lived among people like us,: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” It was Jesus who walked the streets of Galilee, as “Emmanuel – God with us.” When people saw Him, the mighty miracles and great signs and wonders that He did, like healing the sick and helping the helpless, notice what they said: “God has visited His people” (Luke 7:16).

Jesus is the outward expression of the Godhead. When we get to heaven, we won’t find the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost sitting on different thrones; we’ll only find one seated in the fullness of God on the throne, and His name is Jesus (Revelation 7:17).

We must recognise His Lordship and rulership over our lives, including our thoughts, online activities, friendships, studies, and future dreams. He’s the joy of heaven and hope of the earth. He’s the Most High, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who alone is worthy of all praise, worship and adoration. You’re identified with the most awesome and sublime personality that there is, and that gives you confidence, purpose, and a strong sense of identity.

Pray
Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for the awesome privilege of being identified with you. It’s a great honour to know you, serve you, worship you and live for you, even as a young person in today’s world. I boldly confess today that you’re my Lord and Master, the Monarch of the entire universe. You’re my everything, and the reason for my existence. I thank you for revealing yourself to me through the Holy Spirit today. Amen.
