✝️ JESUS, You

Understanding Who Jesus Is — and What That Means for You

“Who is Jesus to you personally?”

When your number is called… will He know you?

Scripture tells us there will be some who hear:

“I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.”

This message challenges us to stop talking more about our problems than about “I AM,” the One who shines His light through our days and nights. It is critical that we develop a real, intimate relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — because our identity is connected to His.

We are threefold beings — Spirit, Soul, and Body — created to live in connection with our threefold God.

So today, think with the end in mind:

  • Do you want eternal life?

  • Do you want to be part of the new heaven and new earth?

Then set your mind on Jesus — who is, who was, and who is to come.  The Day of the Lord is real.  Check out Mama Warned Me.

Here are key “I AM” statements Jesus spoke to help you understand exactly who He is to you.


📖 Scripture Foundation

Revelation 1:8

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 21:6

“He said to me: ‘It is done. I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.’”
