Day 9: You are Holy (Prince of Peace)

If you've never heard this song before, it is a very high energy praise anthem - be warned, you will probably start to sing along after the first chorus or so.
I like this song because it gives a list of things that God is:

You are Lord of Lords
You are King of Kings
You’re Emmanuel
You’re the great "I AM"
You’re the living God
You’re my saving grace
You will reign forever
You are Ancient of days
You are Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End
You’re my Saviour, Messiah, Redeemer and friend

It is not an exhaustive list - it could go on and on.
Last summer, at the beginning of staff training for camp, my 7 co-workers and I all took Meyers Briggs personality indicators.  It was a way of highlighting facets of our personalities and illuminating what drives our thoughts and actions.  The results of the test frustrated me.  It told me I was a introvert, amongst other things, but I thought, how can I be shoved in that box? I'm not completely an introvert, I like people!
The thing about a Meyers Briggs is that it is a scale, a range, and it simply labels you by whichever tendency you are closer to.
So what about Jesus, and His personality?  He liked to invite 12 of His best friends over to dine with Him, and at the same time, He liked to take time away and pray in solitude.  We have a savior that cannot be put in a box.
Just as God continues to get to know us, and sees us through the changes and development in life, we are able to bear witness to the revealing of His heart and His character.  He wants a relationship with us so He can get to know us more, but also so that we can come to know Him more.
Jesus is my savior - He has paid for my sins and made a place for me in Heaven.  He is the Messiah - God's promise to His people.  He is my redeemer - He renews and restores the broken things in the world and the broken things in my heart.  He is my friend, and for that I am thankful.
