What does God mean for you?

There so many conception about God all over the world. Some people say that God is like and ancestral legend that comes to life when we read a book called “bible”. Some others say that God is just an invention from the human mind created only to remove guilty every time we feel bad for something we've done just to makes us feel better. Other thinks that God is just a dictator God who looks life Gandalf and is there above us dictating rules and privating people from thinking freely. Other people things that He is just a way of living morally and ethically right in contemporary society. Among others famous ones. But the question is, is that all that God really means?

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” .”

(Matthew 16: 13 – 15)

But let’s analyze the situation in Jesus’ times where the conception about his person was questioned all over. He and his disciples had been confronted many times by the religious people at that time because of Jesus’ teachings. Jesus and his disciples were accused of breaking the law and blasphemy towards God because of their contra-cultural way of preaching the Gospel. There were rumors all over the cities of a “Jesus” which was accused of being many things, things such as a prophet, drunk and gloomy just because he stayed with different kind of people who cared about, other said that he was a kind of messenger by the miracles he had done, other said that he was a prophet who wanted who was making predictions of the future, among other conceptions of the people from outside his circle could think of. But after these suppositions about his person, Jesus himself asked the disciples “who do you think I am for you?

It’s like Jesus at this very moment is saying to his close group of people “ok they all think that about me, but for you alone who I am?. It’s like he asking us the same question, out of all the conceptions about his person all over the world....

Am I just a boring religion of 4 walls?

Am I just a fairy tale?

Am I preacher with hidden intentions?

Am I a liar?

Am I dictator?

I am just an invention from your mind that comes to you every time you need help?

Am I just an stupid way living?

Or

Am I the God of the universe that loves you more than anyone in the world can do?

In these four years I could understand what God and Christianism really meant, I was confronted by all these question in my mind in my everyday life but I could understand that He is the one who swept my tears and cried with me every time I felt bad about reality and cheered me up when nothing seemed to change. He was the one who designed this prototype of human being (me) and we all know that the person who knows best how use a invention in the best way is its creator, its designer. He was the one who gave me a purpose in life, in his will, making me understand that he wants to do something great in the life of everyone. He is my supporter in every decision I had to take. He is my Dad and my Friend whom I could trust the most intimate doubt, sadness and happiness I have in life. And He is the simple God of the universe, the only one who left behind his God “status” and made himself a man, in Jesus just to be with us through his sacrifice
