Listening to the Father say Who Jesus is has encouraged me to listen to the Father and Jesus say who I am!!! Ok, I know this is about Jesus but reading through Hebrews and hearing the Father and Jesus talk about each other makes it really hard to not hear them talk about who we are! Because who they are makes us who we are!!!!!!
Jesus is/was a glass case of the Father's Character!
Looking at Jesus, hearing the Father say who Jesus is actually reveals who the Father is! I am having a hard time using words trying to describe the Word become flesh.
I want to thank everyone for the last 9 weeks and the journey we took together via Who Is Jesus. I don't know about you, but for me this study has helped me see Jesus in a "more real" way throughout the day. I believe the study helped me see Him and hear Him more clearly. I am reminded that relationship with Jesus is not a study or a program - it is a person! My encouragement and challenge to you and I is to continue pressing into the person of Jesus like never before. There is no doubt in my mind teacher, mentors, and students will need "John-like" figures to their "Peter-like" responses to Jesus (the study from the training week before school started). And more importantly our Peter-like responses will demand a need for a John-like mentor team to never give up on each other......... "It is the Lord Jon, It is the Lord Dottie, It is the Lord Michelle, It is the Lord Mike, It is the Lord Kathy, It is the Lord Dan, It is the Lord Steve, It is the Lord Reid!"
Always pointing each other to Jesus when we ourselves cannot recognize Him. If we want the students to experience Jesus - it starts with the us Mentors!
