Who is Jesus to You?

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:13-16 (NIV) 

Australian preacher Michael Bird has compiled some of the titles of Jesus to show us that no matter what lens we look through, Jesus meets our need and supplies our lack. He wrote: 

To the artist He is the One Altogether Lovely.
To the architect He is the Chief Cornerstone.
To the astronomer He is the Sun of Righteousness.
To the baker He is the Living Bread.
To the banker He is the Hidden Treasure.
To the carpenter He is the Sure Foundation.
To the doctor He is the Great Physician.
To the educator He is the Great Teacher.
To the farmer He is the Sower and Lord of the Harvest.
To the florist He is the Lily of the Valley.
To the geologist He is the Rock of Ages.
To the horticulturist He is the True Vine.
To the judge He is the Righteous One.
To the juror He is the True Witness.
To the jeweler He is the Pearl of Great Price.
To the oculist He is the Light of the Eyes.
To the philosopher He is Wisdom.

And above all, to the sinner Jesus is the Savior of the world.

Jesus is all of these things to all of these people and so much more, but the question for you today is “Who is Jesus to you?” What need is He meeting in you? What role is He filling? What interest is He piquing? What fascination is He satisfying? What lesson is He teaching? What promise is He fulfilling?

Whatever lens you are looking through in life, Jesus is the culmination of what you are seeking and the object of your pursuit.
