Who do you say that I am? Jesus asked this question of Peter, and the disciples in the books of Mark and of Matthew. Some of the answers that he got were Elijah, John the Baptist, and some of the prophets. But Jesus repeated, “Who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered Him, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God.” Wow. Can you imagine knowing someone so closely and intimately as Jesus? Can you imagine knowing that he is God? Again I say Wow!
The “who” that we talk about today is the Father, rather than Jesus.
He is referred to in the Old Testament as Yahweh, as Jehovah, as the Great I Am. He is the Creator, He is the Alpha and He is The Omega.
Which of these titles best speaks to your heart about the greatness, the wonder, the beauty of the WHO that is the Father?
Is it Yahweh? It is a word that was hardly ever spoken aloud because of all of the glory it implied. It was not used because to use it meant that you were starting to disrespect the Almighty by presuming to be so familiar with such a great power. It is, even now, not used in some religions because it is so filled with holiness that we can never presume to deem ourselves worthy enough even to speak His name.
Is it “I Am Who AM” that speaks to you? He just is! He has no beginning. He has no end. He is the Alpha and the Omega. It is tough to wrap your head around that idea. We are so used to things having a beginning and an ending because all things and people do, except for Him, who is, who was, who always will be. Notice all the who’s here?
Could it be the title, Creator, that makes the most sense to you? Yes, we are familiar with creating. We see things created all the time. Take a lump of clay and turn it into a dish. Take a paper and paint and turn them into art. Take some ingredients and turn them into a delicacy for the palate. Imagine though, take nothing, and turn it into the world filled with all the other somethings that we know and love, we then use those things to create for ourselves. That’s some kind of power. That’s some kind of might. That’s the Creator.
So choose for yourself who the “Who” is for you. It’s all the same person. What will you say when He asks you, ”Who do you say that I am?
