WHO IS JESUS TO YOU?
To me Jesus is love personified. When I think about what he’s done for me; dying for me, my sins, just the fact that when he was on earth he showed us what it means to be compassionate & to really be loving to others & just seeing what he’s done in my own life, I know that I am loved. After years of really not understanding what that meant, just knowing that there’s someone who loves me unconditionally, it really means a lot to know that I serve a God who is love.
HOW DID YOU BECOME CONVICTED JESUS IS THE REAL DEAL, THAT IS WHO HE SAID HE WAS?
Ok so I have two parts. So the first one is, I remember back in 2000 when my father kind of walked out of my family’s life & we were in such a bad situation at that time. We all knew the Lord, we all new Jesus, I knew him from a child growing up. I can honestly tell you that looking back, I don’t know how we made it through. When I really think about it, I can attest to the fact that he [Jesus] was there for us, in many ways. When he said “I will never leave you or forsake you,” that verse really became real to me. Just looking back at every moment where we had a lack, he made up the difference. Every time I felt as if I didn’t really know what to do, he always provided & always made a way. And so that really cemented my understanding of who he was as a provider. The Lord really keeps & satisfies, even in the midst of hardship.
And the second thing is, I remember watching The Passion of the Christ for the first time in movie theaters. And movie that really broke me. Like I said, I was saved at a young age & I knew Jesus. But, to see what he actually did, on that magnitude that was never filmed before, it really hit home; the sacrifice that he really made for me. And so I really was convicted at that point to really understand that he is was who he said he was. That he really came to die for our sins. And he committed to that for us.
WHY DO PEOPLE NEED JESUS?
People need Jesus because people are lost & people are in sin & people need a way out. And Jesus is the only answer. We were all born in sin & shaped in iniquity. We were all basically on our way to hell. We didn’t do anything other than be born to be sinners because of what Adam did in the beginning. But, Jesus made a way by dying for our sins & rising again so that we can have eternal life if we can accept the truth of the Gospel, that he came to die for our sins & cleanse us. I feel like many of us feel like we can do without him, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter what your life looks like. We are all sinners. And until you believe in Jesus you will not be able to see Heaven, you will not be able to see Jesus, you will not be able to claim eternal life. And so we need Jesus. We need salvation. We need the Lord & savior. There is really no way around that.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING ABOUT JEUSUS YOU WISH EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD OR KNEW ABOUT JESUS?
That he really, really loves you. You know we’re living in a world where love can often times be transactional or we only love those who love us because it’s easy. And Jesus when he came to earth & died for us, while we were yet sinners he died for us. And that’s love. To really love someone & sacrifice for someone knowing they don’t want you, knowing that they don’t know you exist or even care; that magnitude of love, that magnitude of compassion where he sat with sinners & ate with them no matter who criticized & who said a bunch of evil things about him because of it. He made sure to note to us that his love was completely going across the board. There’s really no condition behind his love. He is absolutely love personified. There’s nothing you can ever do to make him stop loving you. Nothing you can ever do. The Bible says that all are called to repentance. There’s nothing you can ever do to make yourself not good enough to come to God because he will always accept you. I think that’s the beauty of God himself because God is love. His very essence is love. And Jesus is love. His compassion that he has for us. Just knowing that he can identify with our own needs, our own struggles because he went through it when he was here on earth. So he knows & understands what we go through. And knowing that everything that we do he knows about & he still loves us anyway. I think that is something I really want to stress to people because we’re living in a world where it’s just easy to just push someone to the side. It’s just easy to abandon someone for not believing in your principles. Or to even feel as if you’re not wanted for whatever reason. But there is a God in Heaven, there’s Jesus, his son, who is the very epitome of everything that love stands for. That’s what I really, really want people to understand.
I live and love for Jesus. But our modern Christianity doesn’t always reflect who Jesus is. And I’m trying to figure that out right now. Anybody else?

WHO IS JESUS TO YOU?
He’s everything. He is my protector. He is the only one in the world that I would say I can trust, you know. I think I said he’s everything already. He’s the king, he is most powerful. That’s who Jesus is to me.
HOW DID YOU BECOME CONVICTED JESUS IS THE REAL DEAL, THAT IS WHO HE SAID HE WAS?
Funny thing is, I was raised as a Christian, my parents, before I was born held high offices in the church, so I was someone who heard about God every single day. I’m talking about prayer meeting on Wednesday, church on Saturday, Path Finders on Sunday, I went to Christian school. God was a part of my whole life. But, and I hope that some people that’s listening to this will probably resonate, it was not until I had my own personal experience that I really realized he was the real deal. It’s like you know he’s the real deal because it’s been drilled into you, you know. But. when I got diagnosed with cancer and it’s like he’s all I could have went to at that point. I think a lot of people are in the position where you don’t realize that God is all you need, until he’s all you have. And so when I got diagnosed with cancer, it was during COVID, so I was alone in the hospital & that was all the time that I had was just Him and I. Reading; it was the first time, so funny, I grew up in Bible competitions, where they would test you on the Bible and you’d have to read chapters and study. But I didn’t really understand what the Bible was saying until I got sick and I actually started being inquisitive to learn more about what these parables meant. When I got sick, that’s when I realized he is the real deal. I’ll give you a quick story. When I got diagnosed with leukemia, they told me that my body was 76% leukemia cells and it was growing rapidly. I found out one day and the next day I was on chemotherapy. They had to get in there really fast to get me stable. Within 14 days it was at 0% cancer in my blood. And even though I still had to go through chemo & go through treatment, that is the power of God. Only God can do that. Not medication. Not doctors. Only God could do that.
WHY DO PEOPLE NEED JESUS?
Well you need him to live. You need him to survive. You need him because he is the person who will always provide for you. You need him for happiness. You know people think materialistic things is what makes them happy, but the truth is, it’s not. You need him for peace. You need him to learn how to forgive, the same way he forgive us and forgives us everyday. A lot of times we walk around here holding grudges on people, God is the only one who can make your heart clean. And so, I don’t want to say the everything word again, but you need him for everything.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING ABOUT JEUSUS YOU WISH EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD OR KNEW ABOUT JESUS?
That he is not someone to be feared. Stick with me. Because anyone who reads the Bible they say “fear God.” But I think a lot of people they misinterpret what that fear is. Because God is a God of love and kindness, right. And so to give you an example, with your parents you respect them, you fear them and so you follow their rules. And that’s what fearing God really is. It’s not about being terrified, the way you would be to a snake or a spider, it’s about respect. It’s about being in awe of him and his goodness and his glory. I think that’s something I’ve learned this year and that I want to pass along because so many people hear stories about God and they think “well how could God make people die?” God doesn’t make people die. “How could God cause accidents?” God doesn’t cause accidents. He allows certain things to happen because one of the promises God said was that before he came, he wanted to bring all souls to him. And so sometimes he lets the devil attack us in certain ways to bring us closer to him because he is who should be first and foremost in our lives. So we can’t fear someone whose loving and kind, we just have to respect and know that God’s law is above all law. So that is what I want to make sure everybody knows about our Lord Jesus Savior Christ.
