Who do you think Jesus is?

“Who do people say that I, the Son of Man am? Matthew 16:13

Jesus asked His disciples this question. The disciples speculated that Jesus was John the Baptist, Elijah, or one of the other prophets. Jesus restated the question and Peter responded “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”.

This question is now directed at you. Who do you think Jesus is? Most people would respond Jesus is the Son of God. This is really a superficial or incomplete answer for a believer dwelling in God and does not relate to the reality of the Living Christ.

Peter was able to respond correctly because the answer was revealed to him not by intellect or fleshly insight but by the spirit of God. And, Peter had not witnessed the death or resurrection of Christ at the time he spoke.

You cannot understand who Christ is or how He can relate to your life until He is revealed to you by the Holy Spirit. At this time, He changes from a storybook character to a Living God. It is impossible to know Christ through emotions or intellect.

You meet the Living Christ when you abandon yourself to Him and make a decision to live for Him. Until then, you will just be like the other disciples who were confused and uncertain about the significance of Christ.

The only way you can know Christ is to live out His Word in your life. This requires walking by faith and trusting Him implicitly regardless of the circumstances in your life.

My response to this question is Jesus is greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty. There is no one like Him!

He lives so you can live!
