Today, we can ask as many people what they know about Jesus and we would get many responses. Some may say he was a great teacher, he taught us how to love, he was a Jewish Rabbi, he was a carpenter’s son who later turned a prophet, or he belonged to a secret sage group. We would get many answers. Jesus also asked his disciples who do people say he was and they gave similar answers. They said, ‘some say you are Jeremiah, Isaiah, the carpenter’s son, or one of the prophets.’It is not who we speculate Jesus to be that will work in our favor, but it is actually who He says He is. Jesus said to the disciples that he was one greater than Jonah, he was greater than King Solomon, and he is greater than all the prophets of old. He said to us he is the source of our strength. He is the light of the world. He is the one who gives us the green light to life. From reading these biblical stories we will get to understand that Jesus is more than a simple prophet, he is not only the carpenter’s son, but he is the source of being. We will get to understand that we cannot do anything without his approval. John 8:12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
