Jesus is God

‘But you,’ he said ‘who do you say I am?’ Then Simon Peter spoke up, ‘You are the Christ,’ he said, ‘the Son of the living God.’
Mt.16:15,16

Jesus asks the pivotal question to his disciples.... and to me. Who do I say he is?

What must a person believe to be called Christian? Many theological answers come to mind but the essential faith proclamation is simple and direct. Jesus is God.

I recently saw the words "Jesus is God" written in large letters on the T-shirt of a man who, with his wife, evangelises in the Middle East. The same phrase was also written underneath in Arabic. The phrase is jolting in its boldness, even to me let alone a Muslim. 

The modern world will say Jesus was a good man, a prophet even, but God? Yes, Jesus is God. My best friend is the creator of the Universe! Mind blowing but true. 

Jesus, I say you are God. I place my trust in you.
