Mark 8:27 Jesus and his disciples went on to
the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who
do people say I am?"
Who
do people say Jesus is?
·
The
Son of God
·
A
great teacher
·
Savior
of the World
·
An
historical person
·
A
fictional character
·
A
tragic leader
·
A
charlatan
·
An
ancient miracle worker
·
A
first century magician
·
Etc,
etc, etc….
The
list is endless and descriptions will be added, deleted, as well as discussed
until the end of the world. Whoever Christ was, is, and ever shall be, the
truth about Him is this: He will never go away or be forgotten.
Questions for personal
reflection
Who do I say that Jesus is? How does that affect my
life?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, Who You are
is very important to us. We call ourselves Christians because we believe in
your words and try to live by Your teachings. Help us to grow in our knowledge
of You and enable us to share our beliefs about You with other people. In Your
Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
