Who is Jesus?

I ask this question a lot:  Who is Jesus?

I hear many answers back.

Many say Jesus was a wise man.  Many say he was a good teacher.  Some say he was God's son.  Few, though, say that he is God.

I am learning that not everyone who believes in Jesus believes the same thing about him.  To me, he was, is, and will always be God.  My pastor retold something he heard:  God is the only God who will ever be.  Jesus is he only God you will ever see.  The Holy Spirit is the only God you will ever feel.

So how does Jesus be God the Father while being God's son on earth?  This, I still, at times, struggle with.  I'm glad Jesus doesn't.  I may never fully understand it, but I know all he requires of me is my faith.  He'll fill in the understanding.

The first time I asked someone, "Who is Jesus?" I had just come out of my second floor condo, and saw a lady passing by.  "Who is Jesus," I yelled down to her.  "He's my Lord and Savior."  Mine, too.

Who is Jesus, to you?
