A friend and fellow writer put out the challenge to fill in the blank in a Tweet following the words, “Jesus is______.” I replied with my short answer and here is my long list in progress. Jesus offers us a grand invitation to know Him more, to ponder all He is, and to seek to experience Him in all the ways He offers Himself to us.

In the day to day and in turbulent times, it helps to remember who God is and that He is in control. We can find calm amid chaos, comfort during a crisis, and peace in a panicked world because:

JESUS Is —

ALPHA, He is Almighty, He is the Anointed One. — He is Alive! He is the Answer, and the Answer for All that Ails Us. He is my All-in-All. He is Adonai.

HE is the —

BURDEN Bearer and the Bondage Breaker. He is Beautiful and Blameless; He is Bulwark and Bastion. He is the Balm of Gilead. He is our Banner. He is the Bridge and the Bridegroom.

And HE is —

COMING! — (Are you ready?) — He is the Christ; He is the Cure. He is Creator and Cornerstone. And yes—JESUS is my Comfort and my Crutch. (I like to lean on Him.)

HE is the —

DESIRE of Nations, the Divine Deliverer, the Designer of our Destiny. JESUS is the Devil-damner and the Defeater of Death and our great Defender. He is The Dayspring; He is The Door.
