Mark 8:27-30
“What about you?” [Jesus] asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “thou art the christ”— Mark 8:29
When we meet people and get to know them a bit, it’s not unheard of to ask each other about work or hobbies or other interests. We look for information to learn about others and to see where we may have common ground.
It would be rare, though, to hear a question like this one that Jesus asked: “Who do you say I am?” And this is one of Jesus’ most important questions, because it focuses on his identity and purpose.
Jesus asks this question of each of us on our faith journey too. And it is not a simple question It takes deep thought, reflection study and a relationship with Jesus. Our response reveals our heart and where we are at in our relationship with God.
Prayer: Jesus, give us the courage today to say that you are the Lord and Savior and to show in our lives that we believe and hold you in our heart, In Jesus name Amen.
