Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Who Do I Say?
by John van de Laar

      Who do I say You are, Jesus?
      Sometimes I think I know, and I eagerly praise You,
                  I confess that I have learned to know God because of You,
                  I celebrate the fact that my life is fuller because of You,
                  I recognise that, at great cost, You have made it possible for me
                              to have a second chance when I mess up my life,
                              and hurt those around me.

      But, then sometimes I confuse You with others that have helped me
                              or challenged me;
                  Great teachers and writers, prophets and priests,
                              parents and authorities.
      This can be helpful – sometimes they do point me to You;
                  but sometimes I can’t see You through the image they present,
                  and my relationship with You gets blurred.

      Sometimes I’m not sure if I know You at all;
                  I begin to get a sense of who You are,
      but then, like Peter, I misunderstand Your mission, or Your message,
                  or what You really want from me.

      Who do I say You are, Jesus?
      You are the one I have come to love as God,
      You are the one I am learning to recognise
                  and will give eternity to know,
      You are the unfathomable mystery
                  that is always beyond my ability to understand;

      You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
      Amen.
