“But who do you say that I am?” That really is the question. The Bible might say who Jesus is (“Son of David, have pity on me”). Theologians might describe who he is (the Incarnate Son.). Church Councils might define who he is (Consubstantial with the Father). Creeds might profess who he is (true God and true man). All that is “who people say that I am.” The important question is a personal one. The faith of Christians is that despite the two thousand year gap between when Jesus walked the dusty roads of Galilee and we walk the mean streets of Chicago that a personal, intimate relationship is possible. A good practice with the coming of Lent is to get to know Jesus better.
