“Who is it you want?” - John 18:4

Have you wondered, if one wants to get a root canal treatment, you will require a qualified dentist and probably a good reputable dentist to treat it. If one wants to get their hair cut will visit a hairdresser. If one wants their car to be repaired, you will require the car mechanic. So basically for every need you have a person who renders the service. As we focus on this passage from the Gospel of John chapter 18 verses 1 to 8. It is the passage where Jesus Christ will be arrested. Betrayed by Judas his disciple. Christ chose to be found in the Garden. The perfect second Adam who is a life-giver. Jesus knowing all that was going to happen, went out and asked them: “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. 

Today Jesus is asking us the same question “Who is it you want?’ let me emphasize. 'Who’ and not ‘What’. Who is Jesus to us? That is one question we need to ponder quite deeply, who is Jesus for us. What is His role in our life? Is He just someone who answers our prayers in time of needs. Or is Jesus the Centre of our Life.

Before we answer that question, WE must seek the Truth. Savor the Truth and Believe in it.

Let us today ask ourselves: Who is Jesus to us personally?
