Who Do You Say I Am

Scripture: 13 Jesus then went to Caesarea Philippi. Jesus (to His disciples): “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Disciples: 14 “Some say John the Baptist. And some say Elijah. And some say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Jesus: 15 “And you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter: 16 “You are the Anointed One. You are the Son of the living God.” Jesus: 17 “Simon, son of Jonah, your knowledge is a mark of blessing. For you didn’t learn this truth from your friends or from teachers or from sages you’ve met on the way. You learned it from My Father in heaven. 18 This is why I have called you Peter (rock): for on this rock I will build My church. The church will reign triumphant even at the gates of hell. 19 Peter, I give you the keys to 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.” (Matthew 16:13-19 The Voice) Jesus gave His disciples the opportunity to confess to Him who they thought/knew who He was. They gave Him, first of all, who other people were saying He was. He then said, “And you? Who do you say that I am?” I believe that we all, on an individual level, also have the opportunity to confess, sometimes on a daily basis, who Jesus is in our life. We can keep Him on His rightful throne/place in our lives, with this confession of Who He is. Father God, I say with Peter once again today, “You are the Anointed One. You are the Son of the living God.” I want to always confess that truth to You. I love You today and always. AMEN I will daily say, “You are my Master! All the good things I have are from You.” You alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. Psalm 16
