'Christ, Son of God!' - Matthew 16:15-16

Then [Jesus] asked [his disciples], "But who do you say I am?"
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."


—Matthew 16:15-16 NLT

Key Thought​

Peter's answer is simple but profound: ""You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Effectively, he was saying, "You are 'The One' God has promised for all these years. This is what I believe!"

Salvation today still hinges on fully relying on Jesus as our Savior. There is no one else on whom salvation can depend. The central issue in our lives then becomes whether or not we truly believe that Jesus Christ, our Lord, is the Son of God and whether or not we live our lives differently from the world because of that faith!

Today's Prayer​

Almighty God, how can I ever begin to thank you for sending Jesus?! Help me live with him as Lord over all of my life. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen.

God will reveal the truth of eternal life and the purpose of our existence on earth. We are Gods creatures and those who come to Him to worship and adore Him will not go out empty and lost. Jesus Himself will fill their hearts with joy. You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords. A revelation that comes from heaven.
