I make it my business to ask people a certain question.
Most of the people I do not know and have not asked them the question before.
In the month of August, I changed things up a little by asking the question to 90 people that I know profess to be Christians.
The results of the survey may come as a shock to many of you, but the answers given are consistent in this age when most pulpit sermons have little or nothing to do with exalting the One who is the Head of the New Testament Church.
1. Seven of the respondents could not verbalize as to just who was Jesus.
2. Forty One of the individuals questioned claimed without doubt that Jesus was Gods Son but other than that, were at a loss to commit to any other real knowledge of Him.
3. Twelve made the testimony of Jesus as personal Savior and as Gods only Son, who came to earth as the only worthy sacrifice for sin. ( Good testimony on their part)
4. Twenty Two of the Christians interviewed saw Jesus as someone who makes their lives more comfortable, in various fashion, and could not really describe anymore of His reality.
5. Eight of those questioned, were able to describe Him in terms that indicated a deep understanding of His sovereignty, over all of creation, including His authority over them in a personal relationship.
NONE OF THE ANSWERS ARE WRONG
The answers do however give us a good insight into the depth of the understanding of how Christians view Him, whom they have chosen to entrust their eternal future to.
The following is a very good audio/video posting of a sermon by Rev. S.M. Lockeridge.
View it and enjoy as we all need to be reminded daily, just who is MY KING

I'm probably going to start surveying people as well. I fear what their answers will be, yet reality is reality.
I'm excited that at least 20 (12 and 8) of the people gave somewhat of a Biblical Response.
I enjoyed the video of 'He's My King' as well. Great Blog.
