The Jewish leaders know the law of the prophets and the prophecies, but refuse to confess Jesus as the Messiah.
In today’s text, Jesus confronted His disciples with this crucial question: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” (vs. 13).
Just as in Jesus’ day, people today see Jesus as a miracle worker and great teacher. Some other religions see Him as Grand Master.
Here, Jesus wants us to know if His disciples have a better understanding beyond some of the perverted views above. But notice the disciples’ silence until Peter came up with the superb answer.
This bold statement about Christ opened a new chapter for the work of the Church because this is a true confession.
Christ is the Son of the living God, Christ the Saviour is God Himself who came down in human form to take our death upon Himself. Praise the Lord!
QUESTION
Do you also understand Christ beyond the common and worldly views of Him?
PRAYER
O God, please reveal to me the person of Your Son Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
