Who Do you Say Jesus Is

1. On the road from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked His
   disciples two questions...
   a. "Who do men say that I am?" - Mk 8:27-28
   b. "But who do you say that I am?" - Mk 8:29-30

It is the most important question anyone could ask themselves.  Your response determines your destiny in this life and after this life.

King Herod thought this when he heard about Jesus - Mk 6:14
Perhaps motivated by guilt for having beheaded John - Mk 6:16
Likely based on their misunderstanding of Malachi's prophecy - Mal 4:5
Which Jesus explained referred to John the Baptist - Mt 17:10-13
As mentioned in Matthew's account of this conversation - Mt 16:14

But the key question today is this:  "Who do YOU say that Jesus is...?"
   b. Your answer will determine your eternity - cf. Mt 10:32-38; Ac 17:30-31
   a. Your answer will determine how you live today - cf. Mt 28:18-20

My prayer is that you would join with Peter and countless others and confess to Jesus:
            "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Why not confess Jesus now, as you obey the gospel of Christ (e.g., Acts 8:35-38). 
For you will either confess Him now, or confess Him later when it is too late...! - Php 2:9-11
