After much debate and many attempts to find something of which to accuse Jesus, the High Priest Caiaphas finally asked the pertinent question. “Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!” (Mathew 26:57-64).
That is the primary question put before each of us. Do we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God?
There is only one Christ, the Son of God. We are children of God, but we are not equal with God like Jesus is. Romans tells us we are joint heirs with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17) and we may suffer with him and be glorified together. But there is only one name above all names and only at that name, the name of Jesus, will every knee bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:5-11).
In our celebration of God’s mercy and grace toward us, let us not join in Satan’s declaration, “I will be like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14).
