A Reflection Paper #1 By: Maria Rafaelle Nicole M. Esdicul

Jesus Christ to me is my friend because I always ask blessings from him in church.
Jesus died in the cross for our sins to save the world. He is our healer, When I asked for a healing to heal my sickness, I pray always. He is our God because we worship him and He is our savior because He saved our lives during our hard times. Jesus is there to help me in exams and when I’m depressed and think negatively like thinking people hates me because of my attitude and looks, I pray to him that they will appreciate my true colors and help me become a better person.
If my family relatives are sick, I pray to Jesus that they will be healed and whenever I have problems with my friends or family, I pray to Jesus that I will be fine and not think bad about them. Whenever I have difficulties with my subjects, I asked Jesus for guidance, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to help me pass the test.
Jesus is a close friend of mine who I cannot see but watches me every day in earth.
I believe that Jesus Christ mirrors our life though it is impossible to be like Jesus Christ because He is perfect and the son of God.
I do believe that the Bible tells us about Jesus’s life to let us have knowledge about him and to let us relate to him more because the bible affects me in that it is God’s word about how we should live through it how the Bible tells us to do.
We make sins like Jesus would do because we are all sinners in earth and we are not perfect human beings. Like what happened to Adam and Eve, They broke the rule.
I was also wondering if Jesus is God but my mom told me that Jesus is the son of Mary and Joseph. I was confused because in the Bible he was the son of God so basically how is he also the son of Joseph.
So I researched and saw that Jesus is recognized to be the Son of God on two separate occasions by a voice speaking from Heaven.
Jesus is explicitly and implicitly described as the Son of God by himself and by various individuals who appear in the New Testament. Jesus is called "son of God," while followers of Jesus are called, "sons of God".
So now I know that Jesus and his followers are also sons of God. Jesus is our protector because without him, we will fall to disaster. He is important in our daily life everyday.
Jesus is our inspiration because he inspires us on our lives. He is the light of our journey through sickness and in health.
