Who Do You Say I Am? By Brenda Drake

I believe every person is asked this question at least once in their life.  If we are asked more than once we may have a different answer each time.  Now, I know my answer; You are my Lord, my Savior, and best friend. You are the Lover of my Soul, the King of kings, and the Lord of Lords.  There is no name above Jesus’ my God, the Creator of all things.

Who Do You Say I Am?

People have many opinions of Jesus across the lands.
Some call Him Lord and some call Him mere man.
Jesus is Lord, He is Life,
Jesus is the Son of God, He is the Christ.
There are countless things where He is proclaimed,
There is nothing or no one above His name.
But who do you say I am? Is the question;
Is Jesus only an expletive thrown about without affection?
Is He just a picture upon the wall of your life?
That has almost become invisible and forgotten in sight?
Is Jesus a fond memory of a song long-ago;
That states He loves you because the Bible tells you so?
Is Jesus’ name used only in case of emergency or strife?
As a magic-wand waved, to make things right?
Jesus asks us who do you say I am?
Jesus would tell you I AM.
I AM soon comes for those who truly know,
I am Savior and the lover of thier soul.

Mark 8:27
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples,
saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

Luke 9:20
“But you,” He asked them, “who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “God’s Messiah!”

            I quake with a fear that is hard to explain when I think of the years I had no real idea who Jesus is.  I perhaps felt He was someone of great importance, but the magnitude of His being was unknown to me.  But even though I now know Jesus is Messiah, I am very sure the magnitude of His revelation still lies ahead.

Who Do You Say I Am?

There are many theories of who I am.
Some call me the Son of God; some say I was just a man.
Some say I was a peacemaker and others say,
I cause division and they turn away.
Some call me Jesus, some Emmanuel,
Some call me friend they know me so well.
Some inquire daily, who am I in their life?
Some seek to know all the names of Christ.
I have been labeled Beelzebub, and called a fraud,
But who am I to you?  Am I your God?
I am the Alpha and Omega; beginning and the end.
I am the Savior who soon comes again
I am the Bridegroom, I am the increase, I am Bread
I am New Wine; the Living Water, I am the Church head.
I am Light, the narrow path; the only Way.
I am the Word of God that has been conveyed.
I am the Son of David, I am the vine.
I am love, I am Truth, I am the treasure the seeking soul finds.
I am Lily of the Valley, the Rose, and the Son of man.
But what I want to identify is who do you say I am?

Prayer
You are my Lord, my Savior, and my best friend. You are the reason I live, You are the air I breathe;
You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
