Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa
Before becoming a Christian, I thought Jesus Christ was one of the great figures in history.
...I thought Jesus was a fine human being.
...😳
About two months after coming to church, I realized that Jesus is not a human being, but God.
...In the Jewish society of that time, some people said, "He is John the Baptist," or "He is Elijah."
...Others said, "He is Jeremiah," or "He is one of the prophets."
...Amidst all this, Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
...Peter confessed his faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God!
...Until then, I thought I could only believe in myself...
But...I've come to understand that there is nothing more unreliable and fickle than a person's heart and words.
...At that time, Pastor Peter, who was 17 years old, like Peter, was able to believe in Jesus Christ first, rather than believing in himself, from the moment he confessed his faith. …As a result… Jesus gave me a prayer saying, "I give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven 🔑"…and I was even given eternal life❗️.
Who do you think Jesus is❓️?
Shalom 😃
