But Who do you say that I am?

Matthew 16:16

In His travels one day, Jesus asked His disciples a question. "Who do men say that I am?"

"Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets," they all chimed in. This could have stemmed from the verse in Deuteronomy 18:18 where God says He will raise up a prophet amidst the people.

Then Jesus asked a very poignant question. "But who do you say that I am?"

Simon Peter spoke up and vehemently declared, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Peter recognized the true deity of the Jesus and confessed Him to be the long-awaited Messiah. No mortal man could heal the sick, raise the dead, even control the natural elements as this God/Man. 

Jesus is asking you this same question today. Who do you say that I am?

Is He the only begotten Son of the Loving God who died on a cross for your sin and rose again on the third day? Is He your Lord and Savior? Is He your soon coming King? 

If you can't answer a resounding "YES", then why not?

Jesus is the King of all kings, the Lord of all lords, the Ruler of the whole universe, the redeemer of all mankind. He paid the ultimate price for you, enabling us to spend eternity basking in His Love and Grace.

Receive His Love today. Confess Him as your Lord and Savior, and you too declare along with Peter, "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God!"
