Who Is Jesus?

"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

"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. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Then he warned his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Christ." (Matthew 16: 13 - 20 - NIV)


Jesus asked His disciples who people thought he was; what He was all about. The disciples gave a variety of answers.

However, then Jesus asked another very important question, "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jesus is our Living Saviour!

Who is Jesus according to you and me? How are we sharing Him in our world?

"I would that others might see
The marks of Jesus in me
For they will not believe if they do not perceive
The marks of Jesus in me."
