How do you see Christ?

How do you see Christ? A question a friend asked one day that has confirmed my purpose and decisions about my career.  This friend has always inspired, pushed, and kept me accountable to Christ and His hand in my life. But this simple question was asked in a confused situation about careers and direction of a life.  She went on to explain that Christ can be many things to different people. He can be a healer, a teacher, a radical, a preacher, a comforter, and much more. But it's how you view Christ that will lead you to what your occupation will lean towards.  Coming out of college, I attained a degree in Elementary Education, and honestly at the time I had no idea why, except for the fact that I loved children. I could not answer except for the given response of what I'm supposed to say of why I wanted to teach. Then this simple yet complicated question, came into my world.....How do you see Christ? I could answer full heartily with....a teacher. I see Christ as a teacher. Then it became clear, I knew why I wanted to teach...I knew why I wanted to have a career that is overlooked, under appreciated, and under payed......because I view Christ as a teacher. So for those of you unsure about the future and what career path to take, ask this simple question, How do you see Christ? Do not be afraid to ask questions and stir waters, that is how we find meaning and purpose.
