Who Do You Say That I Am?

Jesus’ first question to His disciples, as they’re on the way to Caesarea Philippi, is, “What’s the word on street? What do you hear out there? Who do people say that I am?” What David sees here is that Jesus really doesn’t care what people say about who they think He is, because the penetrating question is, “Who do you say that I am?”While most of us resonate with Peter’s “You are the Christ, the son of the living God,” we sometimes forget. The extraordinary nature of who He is becomes ordinary, and the familiar things that we truly do believe become unfamiliar. We forget that He really is the Christ, the Son of the Living God; and that He really is “the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation… that all things were created by Him, through Him and for Him… and in Him all things hold together.”Teaching Pastor: David Johnson, Lead Teaching Pastor | Who Do You Say That I Am? | Ordinary Time
