When asked the question of "Who is Jesus?" a series of quick, simple, memorized responses come to mind. I often find myself choosing one of these go to answers because I assume it will be satisfactory to whomever asked the question. By choosing an answer such as "he rose from the dead", "he died on the cross", etc. I am selling both myself and the questioner short.
Before reading this week's Super Ultra entry I hadn't put much thought into who Jesus actually is. My standard response always dealt with Jesus dying for my sins and giving his life so we could live eternally in God's presence. I struggled to find a less superficial way of describing Jesus' role in my personal life. Jesus truly was the Lamb of God. The Lamb of God who takes away sins and sin itself, saving those who are not worthy of his mercy. I loved John the Baptist's answer to the same question, who emphasized the word LOOK. I need to look not on myself or the things I think I know of Jesus, but look onto Jesus himself and find the deeper meaning. To create a deeper relationship with Christ and dive deeper than the surface level.
