"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God"

The Lord Jesus once asked His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is? And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; some Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

He then said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

This inspired confession from Simon Peter is further elaborated in other portions of Scripture.

• The Lord Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation.
• By Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities - all things have been created by Him and for Him.
• He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.
• He is also the head of the body, the Church.
• He is the beginning and the first-born from the dead so that He Himself might come to have first place in everything.

It pleased the Father that all the fullness of God dwell in Him and through Him reconcile all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven by making peace through the blood of His cross.

• The Lord Jesus is heir of all things.
• Through Him God made the world.
• He is the radiance of God's glory.
• The exact representation of God's nature.
• He upholds all things by the word of His power.
• After He provided purification of sins, He sat down at the right Hand of the Majesty on high.
  

• The Lord Jesus was in the beginning with God.
• He is God.
• All things came into being by Him; and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
• In Him was life and the life was the light of men.
• He is the true light which enlightens every man.
• He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

The Lord Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega (the Beginning and the End) who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

 This list could go on and on. For space would not be sufficient if we add: Saviour, Redeemer, Lamb of God, High Priest, etc. etc.



Oh! The bliss of just being enthralled in the thought of all that He is and what it means to me.
