(Mat 16:15-16 NKJV) He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” {16} Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
I wonder if Peter really, truly understood what he was saying when he answered Jesus. I honestly believe that he didn’t fully comprehend what he was saying, simply because it wasn’t his intellect that revealed this to him, but God alone.
Had he truly understood it, would he still have denied Jesus at the time of his capture and the beatings leading up to the crucifixion?
What about us? Do we truly, truly understand who Jesus is?
I often think that we don’t fully, 100% comprehend who Jesus is. If we did, would we do some of the things that we do, or say some of the things that we say? Would we stop and think twice before making a bad choice or a wrong decision that leads us into sin, if we really, truly understood who He is?
Ask God to reveal Jesus to you in a new way and at a new depth and watch how He changes you from the inside, out.
