Who Do You Say I AM?

In the world of technology there is a new development called Hyper Sonic Sound (HSS). The inventor, Elwood “Woody” Norris, has engineered sound waves to travel like a laser beam for about 150 yards. This allows sounds to be heard by a person in a particular place but not by those immediately around them. You could be listening to music or specific instructions while those standing next to you would be left in total silence. If you move out of the tightly formed path of these unique sound waves you too will be unaware of any noise.

During our time of praying, fasting, and seeking Jesus outside the camp it may appear, or feel that you have wondered away from the path of what you originally sought to seek: a deeper relationship with Jesus, or catching fire with His Presence, or greater intimacy. Although, the truth is found in the path of sound. Weeks before His crucifixion Jesus asked His Disciples, Who do you say that I AM? That question is what’s tested in times of hiddenness: Who do you say Jesus is? As our culture get’s “woke” they have missed the irony that they are more asleep than ever. The only One Who can awaken anyone is Jesus, the Light! The Apostle Paul warned of this in the book of Ephesians: But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Eph. 5:13-14) As you have wrestled through, to breakthrough, wondering into the mystery of Christ’s hiddenness it may appear that you have fallen asleep. But what you don’t realize is that what’s actually taken place is your spirit man has awakened to listen to the Still Small Voice of Christ. The world and all that is in it screams for our attention while Christ asks, Who do you say that I Am? The hiddenness of God forces this to the surface. Now that you find yourself in this place, Who do you say Jesus is?
