Bury Christian Youth

If you could ask God one question, and you knew you would get an answer, what would you ask? What a privilege to stand in front of several hundred students
in assembly and ask this question! But even better is when we get to flip this one on its
head… What if God could ask YOU one question? What would he ask? Actually, Jesus already asked it when he turned to the disciples and said, ‘Who do you say I am?’ Initially the disciples told him what everyone else thought. So he asked again. ‘Who do YOU say I am?’ And that question is surely exactly what he would ask today.

Young people take so many of their cues from the surrounding culture; from hearsay; from vague understanding and assumptions. But Jesus cuts to the heart of the call of God—a call to each of them to a personal understanding of who he is, and a personal response to him. This is why we do what we do — to call young people to seek after who God is. And we rely on his promise that ‘whoever seeks will find’, knowing that ‘His faithfulness continues to all generations.’
