Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?

There is not a more important question that we can ask ourselves.

Jesus holds the key to life.

Jesus shows us the Christ which is the most important reality that we need to come to know.

“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

- Who does the culture around us think that Jesus of Nazareth is?

- A good man, a healer, a prophet, a historical figure that has no relevance today, etc.

“But who do you say that I am?”

What does Scripture tell us? “In the beginning was the Word…”

What does Tradition tell us? That God is Trinity.

What does Reason tell us? That all of life comes from God and is connected.

What does Experience tell us? That to be in Love is to be in Christ.

Christ is the answer to all humanity’s questions.

Christ is the only response fully capable of satisfying the desire of the human heart.

Christ is our life, our life is Christ’s life!

“I am in the Father and the Father is in me. I am in you, and you are in me.”

To know and experience who Christ is, is the KEY to the Kingdom of God, the fullness of life. 

“I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.”

The Church has the Keys to Life: forgiveness, reconciliation, and Loving Union with God and each other.

The Church’s (you and me) mission is to use the keys that have been entrusted to us.

We need to enter kingdom living ourselves - repentance, forgiveness, Union with God and all of creation.  And then, out of our deepening experience, we are to invite and draw others into that very same Kingdom of Love.

In Jesus of Nazareth, God is made flesh.

IN YOU AND I GOD IS MADE FLESH.

Christ is drawing us into His life of love that knows no end.

Christ has given us the responsibility to draw others into that same life right now.

Let us commit our whole life to the mission and ministry of 

Knowing Christ and to making Christ known.
