"But what about you?" He asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are The Christ, The Son of The Living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by My Father in heaven." Matthew 16:15-17 (NIV)
After Jesus asked His disciples who the people say that He is, then He asked them who do you say that I am? Peter gave the correct answer, "You are The Christ, The Son of The Living God." Only someone who has been saved can give this answer to that question. Only God can reveal that to you.
Who do you say that Jesus is? I have heard some people say that Jesus was just a good man. Others have said that He was a prophet, just like Muhammad and all of the others. However, like Peter, I know that Jesus, The Christ, is The Son of The Living God. This statement is a confession of faith by a regenerated heart, that has been saved by the grace of God. The most important question that each of us will have to answer for ourselves is, who do you say that Jesus is? The outcome of our lives depends upon our answer to that question.
