The question and the answer – Who is Jesus along with He is… -- are asked often in the Gospels. Here’s a list of some of them (italics added):
The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” (Luke 5:21).
The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” (7:49)
But Herod said, “I beheaded John. Who, then, is this I hear such things about?” And he tried to see him. (9:9)
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” (Matthew 21:10)
The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?” (John 12:34)
“But as I came to understand that my work gave me an opportunity to know God and his love for me more, it changed everything. So what do I mean by that? Well, if theologically you think about it a little bit, you think about a mago day, right?
We're created in the image of a God who works six out of seven days. And it was good. And his work, according to the Gospel of John, continues to this day.
So he's not just like a Sumerian guy that kind of spoke and just created humankind for folly. And he was intimately and continues to be intimately involved in the creation process. That means that we, and I represent faith-driven entrepreneurs, but this has to do with anybody who's been creative in the workplace.
That when we are creating, we are living into the creation mandate to be fruitful and multiply. As entrepreneurs and business people, we see what is wrong and broken in the world. We see problems that need to be solved and we lean into them.
We make redemptive products and services. The very product, the very process of doing business is doing God's work[…]”
