Who is Jesus Christ for us today?

'Who is Jesus Christ for us today?'

This is a question posed by Bonhoffer in the 1940s.  Today our lecturer posed it to us.

Here's my quick 2 minute answer:



Today Jesus is seen as a byword, a swear word, a nice guy, but an irrelevant guy.  His followers are seen as bigoted, weak and stupid.  However, the reality is that Christ is who he always has been.  He is the ruler of the world.  He is the one who is reconciling all things to the Father.  To those who believe in him, he is their brother, their Saviour and their Lord.

What do you think,  'who is Jesus Christ for us today?'
