What can make it challenging to take time and reflect about who Jesus is?
Even if you are someone who has said “yes” to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, what are some doubts or questions you have about him? What would it look like to begin to confront those? Alternatively, if you could ask Jesus anything right now, what would you ask him?
Read Luke 9:18-20. What is one word you would use to describe who Jesus is to you today? (Take some time to think, there is no right or wrong answer.)
What’s one step you can take this week to either process, decide, or declare who Jesus is in your life?
Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for not hiding who you are from us. Thank you for loving us, coming to earth to live among us, and giving us eternal life. We ask for clarity as we process who you are and what you mean to us. Amen.”
