In Matthew chapter 16, Jesus asked His disciples a couple of questions. Being God, He knew the answers already but He asked the questions for their sake. They had traveled all the way to the northernmost part of Israel to a land overflowing with idol worship. It was there that Jesus asked Peter, the leader of the twelve, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Peter gave some responses that he had evidently heard.
Then Jesus asked Peter, “Who do YOU say I am?” And Peter’s response, “You are the Christ” is what Jesus said He would build His church on. Jesus will continue to build His church but it is our response to that question that He uses to do it. So, Jesus is asking you this question today. Yes, He knows the answer but is asking it for your benefit. Who do you say Jesus is and who have you said it to lately? Who needs you to say it?
I so hope you will be at Christ Fellowship this Sunday as we continue this study morning and evening. If you aren’t there, you will be missed! I love you all! — Todd
