Who does Jesus think he is? Who do we ...?

Morning: Psalms 40, 54; Exodus 34:18-35; Colossians 3:1-11
Evening: Psalm 51; Luke 7:1-17

Jesus is clearly a great teacher, but he is much more.  He heals a Roman centurion’s dying slave; he raises from the dead a widow’s son. Jesus himself encounters death and shows his authority over the power of death.  Clearly Jesus is not simply an unusually wise person; he is One who carries the power of the Cosmos with authority, compassion and love.  The Gospel invites us, like the centurion, to take a clear step of faith about who Jesus is and about just how strong is his authority over death.

    I believe that we live in the cosmos after death connected to everything in the cosmos (therefore earthly things like living creatures and everything that is----trees rocks etc.)
