Who do we say Jesus is? This profound question challenges us to examine the very core of our faith. As we explore Matthew 16, we’re confronted with the stark contrast between the skeptical Pharisees and the revelation given to Peter. Are we, like the religious leaders, demanding signs and missing the Messiah right before our eyes? Or are we open to the Father’s revelation of His Son? This message urges us to look beyond our own expectations and preferences, reminding us that our answer to ‘Who do you say I am?’ is reflected not just in our words, but in every aspect of our lives. From our prayer habits to our daily choices, we’re constantly declaring who we believe Jesus to be. As we reflect on this, let’s consider: Are we truly allowing Jesus to be who He is, or are we trying to mold Him into who we want Him to be?
