Is Jesus Who He Claims to Be? - Love Worth Finding - March 5

March 5, 2024 – Is Jesus Who He Claims to Be?
James 1:22-25
Sermon: 1848 What Shall I Do with Christ?

Pray Over This

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
James 1:22-25

Ponder This

There is an important question we all must ask ourselves: What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ? This question is personal. You, like Pilate, must answer it. This is a pertinent question. We’re not talking about some personality. We’re not talking about some denomination. We’re not talking about some idea. We’re talking about one who claims to be the Son of God. This question is a pressing question. It is before you right now. Everybody will answer one way or another, whether vocally or by their actions, they will answer this question.

Jesus Christ was in Pilate’s hand that day. And today Jesus Christ is in your hand. But the time came when Pilate was in Jesus’ hand, and the time will come when you will be in Jesus’ hand. Jesus was standing before Pilate, but at the judgment, Pilate stands before Jesus. Jesus is standing before you today, through the Spirit and through the Word. But one day, you will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ. So, what will you do with Jesus who is called Christ?

• How have you answered this important question? How has your answer impacted your life?
• Is this question foundational in your life? Why or why not? What needs to change?

Practice This

Talk to a minister or missionary who has dedicated his or her life to the cause of Christ and ask for insight on how this question has changed that person’s life.
