There are many variations of one’s persona depending on who is asked. Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”. I have yet to receive understanding into our Lord’s heart as to why He asked this question and more importantly the timing of this question. We do know that it was eventually answered through Peter by The Spirit of the Living God.
Everybody has an opinion of who they think/believe someone is. There is also who we ourselves believe and think we are or are not. We have all seen or heard the expression “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” For most of us that is not enough because we desire to become more.
As we are about to enter the ‘High Holy Days’ that our Lord celebrated with His earthly family, let us each come to know Him and His experience on earth on a more profound and deeper level than we currently do. Let us allow Him to do the same with us.
Psalm 40:5 => Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts toward us
cannot be recounted to You in order;
if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.
