Matthew 16:15 (LSB) 15 He said to them, \u201cBut who do you say that I am?<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

As Jesus walked with the disciples, He asked them some questions that would reveal their understanding of who He was.<\/p>\n

He started by asking them who people were saying He was.<\/p>\n

They answered and told Him what they had been hearing others say.<\/p>\n

He then asked them who they said He was.<\/p>\n

At this question, Peter piped up immediately!<\/p>\n

Matthew 16:16 (LSB) 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, \u201cYou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter exclaimed that Jesus was the Christ (Messiah), and the Son of God.<\/p>\n

Jesus confirmed this by telling Peter that what he spoke was not revealed to him by human flesh, but by God Himself.<\/p>\n

Now, let us also look at a similar example, but with John the Baptist.<\/p>\n

As John saw Jesus, he proclaimed to everyone who He was.<\/p>\n

John 1:29 (LSB) 29 On the next day, he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, \u201cBehold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!<\/p>\n

Peter and John both recognized Jesus for who He was; the Messiah, God\u2019s son, who had come to redeem mankind.<\/p>\n

If we were to leave this here, we would think that all was well. Peter and John had it all together and would never have any doubts about who Jesus was, or why He had come.<\/p>\n

Oh, if it was only this simple. There is no happily ever-after with this one.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will take a closer look at what happened, not only with Peter, but with something a bit more subtle that took place with John sometime after he had proclaimed to the world that Jesus was the Lamb of God.<\/p>\n

We hope you will join us!<\/p>\n
