13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” ~ Matthew 16:13NKJV
At the time of the Greeks, this area was known for Pan worship. Apparently, the people did detestable things in their worship of Pan, like religious prostitution and even having sex with goats in Pan’s honor. Apparently, they believed that the gods would go to the underworld for the winter through the caves there in the area and immerge again during the spring.
Well, Jesus and His disciples were passing through the area during the time of Spring; God was literally among man. Now, Jesus’ death was close at hand. In just a little while, He would die the horrific death to pay for the sins of the whole world.
We live in a world where any religion is more acceptable than Christianity. Sexual immorality is rampant; hate is being called love, while love is being called hate. The signs of the time indicate that Jesus’ return is close at hand, and Jesus is still asking, “Who Do Men Say That I am?”
In other words, you could say this is now our spring. This is our chance to declare who Jesus is. It’s our chance to decide where you will spend eternity. You have to make a choice. You have to declare who Jesus is and make a stand in these last and final days before He comes back and winter takes place once again. We only have now to choose, don’t miss it, and have to endure winter without the one true God; choose now before it’s too late.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Choose in the Spring.
