Who do you say I am?

Mark 8:27-30 ²⁷Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?" ²⁸They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets." ²⁹"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah."

As Jesus and his disciples are on their way from village to villages around Caesarea Philippi; Jesus ask his disciples two questions. First, He ask them who do people say I am.

Sadly, some people only view of Jesus is based on what others have told them. They have no personal relationship with Him. Their whole experience or knowledge of Jesus is based on what friends, families, and leaders in the faith have told them.

Therefore, the second question Jesus asked is so important. Who do you say I am?  Now it is personal. Now He is not looking for what others have said but who am I to you.

It is odd then when asked who do people say I am the bible says, “they replied” meaning more than one person responded to the question. Most of us can think of what others have said about who Jesus is.  However, when asked who do you say I am, Peter alone was the only one who responded. To answer this question, you cannot rely on friends or families, but you must have your own personal experience.

My question to you is who do you say He is? Is He your savior, your Lord or are you unsure? Is your experience with Jesus solely based on what others have said?  Do you have a personal relationship with Him?

Today it is my prayer that each an everyone who reads this post come into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. They would experience God’s mercy and grace so that along with myself and many others they can boldly declare Jesus you are the Messiah, the Christ the, son of the living God.
