April 3, 2017 - WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS?

Day 93 - JUDGES 10-11 & Luke 9:1-36

Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”  (Luke 9:18-20 ESV)

This is the most important question anyone will ever be asked. Peter passed the test, have you? Many people have not! Look at some of their answers. Jesus is...

● A hoax

● A prophet

● A social reformer

● A moral leader

● A Son of God

All of these answers are wrong, even the last one. Here are right answers:

● Jesus is THE Son of God.

● Jesus is “THE Christ of God”

● Jesus is THE Savior of the world.

● Jesus is THE way, THE truth and THE life.

Who do you say He is? Either you answer from the first list and are lost, or you answer from the second list and are saved. May the Holy Spirit enlighten you with His gifts and bless you with the right answer!

Dear Holy Spirit, please fill me with the faith that Peter displayed and answer the question the same way. May I always believe and confess that Jesus is THE Christ of God and my Savior. Amen.
