Who is Christ to you? In our Gospel today, we heard what
Jesus said regarding the perspective of David on who Christ is. Jesus
explained, “David himself calls him 'lord…’” If in the eyes of David, Christ is
Lord, how about us? Who is Christ for us?
Some people hold that Christ is a friend who is always
there. Others cling to that Christ is an older brother who guides in becoming
mature. Still others embrace that Christ is a professor who teaches about
almost everything. The answer does not necessary be the same with others. Your
answer maybe different from my answer. My answer maybe different from other
people’s answer. So what the point then in knowing who Christ is for us?
We may have different viewpoints on who Christ is. Yet one
thing is always the same no matter who Christ is, our views affect our lives.
The outlook we hold onto is our way of life. If Christ is a friend then we also
treat others as friends. If Christ is an older brother then we treat others as
family. If Christ is a professor then we treat others as classmates. Whether
Christ is a friend, brother, professor, companion, coworker or mentor, our view
on who Christ is greatly affects our view on other people. If Christ is someone
we value then it is proper to say that we also value other people.
Who then is Christ to you?
