Friday - Who is He to You?

Luke 5:17-26 — “And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.”

Who does Jesus think He is?!

Well, lets deduce a few things together.
Jesus forgave the mans sins —> Only God can forgive sins = Jesus is God!

Jesus read the minds of the religious leaders —> Only God knows our thoughts =
Jesus is God!

Jesus healed the man physically and spiritually. He proved His authority. Jesus is absolutely, uncontestedly, indisputably God. However, there were two responses. One glorified God, the other rejected out of pride.

Today, the world is provided a choice. Is Jesus a liar, lunatic, or is He truly Lord? The choice is ours. It is our job to tell the world who He is. Have you decided? Have you done your part to tell others?

Today is the day of salvation. You may need to do that. You may need to be the one who tells others about it. Who is Jesus to you?
