Good morning church,
Today I wish to share on personal knowledge.
Jesus was born and grew up quietly until he launched his ~3.5 years public ministry. He caused a stir, a buzz and understandably he was misunderstood. The disciples were aware these misunderstandings as evidenced by the answers they gave.
To Jews, Jesus was several things;
-Elijah
-John the Baptist
-Jeremiah
-Some other prophet
Jesus now zooms in from who others think he be to the disciples. Peter shot first. Jesus was Christ, the Messiah, The Son of God. He got it right and I believe he spoke for the rest. Nobody followed Jesus that close without clarity of who he be.
Today I wish to ask us church to introspect. Who do you think is Jesus? The answer to this defines your Christianity. And I hope and pray that to you Jesus is the Christ, Son of the Living God
And now, let us worship the Word made Flesh(John 1: 14) as you have a restful Lord's Day
