For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Hebrews 2:11
LET IT GLOW
Who am I, that the Creator of all things would know my name, would look down on me, just a farmer's daughter?
Who am I, that the Savior would die for me, a sinner?
Who am I, that the Blessed One would blesses me, the one who fails Him daily and wasted so many years living for self?
Who am I, that the Risen Lord would extend my life ten more years?
Who am I, the Patient Jesus would work patiently in my life to mold this dirty lump of clay into a vessel worthy of praising and serving Him?
Who am I, that the Messiah would take time to walk and talk with me?
Who am I?
Then I think about the times Jesus said, "I AM." When God was conversing with Moses in Exodus 3, He identified Himself as I AM THAT I AM. Moses was told to tell the Children of Israel I AM hath sent me unto you.
Young's Concordance tells us It is a name indicating rather the unsearchableness of God than his mere existence, as commonly supposed.
Another time, when the high priest asked Jesus, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the Blessed?" then Jesus answered, "I am."
Who is Jesus Christ?
- He was made a little lower than the angels, while He was on earth in the form of a man. (verses 7,9)
- He is crowned with glory and honor. (verses 7,9)
- He is set over all things. (verse 7)
- He has all things in subjection under His feet. (verse 8)
- He tasted death for every man. (verse 9)
- It is for Him and by Him that everything exists. (verse 10)
- He is the captain of our salvation. (verse 10)
- He sanctifies us. (verse 11)
- He calls us brethren and isn't ashamed to do it. (verse 11)
- His Name is declared unto His brethren. (verse 12)
- He is praised through song in the church. (verse 12)
- He is the One in whom we put our trust. (verse 13)
- He took on flesh and blood, humanity. (verse 14)
- He is a merciful and faithful high priest. (verse 17)
- He made atonement for our sins. (verse 17)
- He was tempted to sin, although He did not yield. (verse 18)
- He helps us when we are tempted. (verse 18)
Bless that wonderful name of Jesus! Sing His praises! Give Him glory, honor, and praise!
How could we do anything less, after all He has done for us? Who am I?
He is not ashamed to call me His sister. I have a brother and sister. We have the same parents and grew up in the same household, which is rare today. I love them and know they love me. I'm not ashamed to tell people who my brother and sister are. I'm glad that Jesus isn't either-ashamed to call me His sister.
LET IT GROW
Jesus suffered a horindously before the cross, bleeding sweat drops of blood while praying; beatings before the cross; nails pierced His hands and feet, hung on a cross to die; endured the forces of evil and effects of mankind's sins.
Why did Christ have to suffer?
- He did it to identify with humanity. For God to become truly human, He must suffer and even taste death (verse 9).
- It was in order to destroy the power and fear of death (verses 14-15).
- In order for HIm to become an intercessory high priest for His brothers (verse 17).
That is why I declare what He has done and that Jesus is the only way to God the Father and heaven.
In John 14:6, Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Friend, have you believed in Jesus as your Savior yet? If so, are you and I sharing it? What will you do with a man called Jesus? Will you accept or reject Him?
As I ask the question again, "Who am I?", I know the answer, "I am a daughter of the King." King Jesus is His name and He knows my name, too. He walks and talks with me now and I will one day sit and talk with HIm in heaven. Glory to Your Name, Lord Most High, El Elyon.
LET IT GO
Declare all Jesus has done.
Share the Good News.
Sing His praises!
