What about You?

13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"
14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."
17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of death will not overcome it. 19 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." 20 Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Matthew 16:13-20



No logical thinking or reasoning or concrete answers to all of the questions that Peter had concerning who Jesus Christ was had anything to do with his response here to the Son of God. No, as you have read, Jesus explains how Peter believed, not as a result of working it out in his own mind, but only as a result of divine intervention from God. Who do you say that Jesus is? If you are waiting for all of your questions to be answered concerning the reality of who God is in a tangible way then you will never believe as belief is a gift from God and comes only from the Father in Heaven to those who truly seek Him and ask Him to reveal Himself to them. You see, Jesus is waiting for you to seek Him, to invite Him into your life and when you approach the Throne of God in this way it is then and only then that you will know for sure that Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings as it is only after you invite Him into your heart of hearts that our Father in Heaven will give you a peace that passes all understanding concerning your newfound relationship with Him. It is only after you have surrendered your heart that will know for sure who God is and how much He loves you. Who do you say that Jesus is? Invite Him into your life today and you will know, without a doubt, that He is your Creator and Friend and Lover of your soul who will never let you go. Take that step of faith today!
