Who is Jesus

Who is Jesus

Read Luke 2:28-32
Today’s Truth

Christmas presses us all to answer the most important question: Who is Jesus? 

In Luke 2, the Holy Spirit leads a righteous and devout man named Simeon to the temple on the day of Jesus’ circumcision. Simeon praises God for allowing him to see the promised Messiah. Simeon prophesies that Jesus will be “a figure misunderstood and contradicted.” Is Jesus misunderstood or is He Messiah? Is Jesus only a reason to decorate, gather friends, and feast? Or, Do we acknowledge Him as Savior of the world, Immanuel, Prince of Peace? 

Discussion Questions
  • In Mark 8:29, Jesus asks Peter, "Who do you say I am?" How would you answer Jesus’ question? Who do you say He is?
  • What is one way you can put Jesus at the center of your day today?
Application

When we see Jesus as Savior, our perspective on Christmas changes. Buying presents becomes a reminder of God’s blessing instead of a burden. Gatherings go from obligations to opportunities to celebrate and reflect the gift of Jesus. When Jesus is at the center, every Christmas moment becomes an act of worship.
