who

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

- Matthew 16:15-16 (NKJV)

 

Excuse me, but who are you?

When asked to identify Himself, there are 80 references in the Gospels where Jesus saying that He is the Son of Man, yet in Matthew He asks His disciples who they say He is. 
In Mark 8:29 Peter answered “You are the Messiah”, in Luke 9:20 “God’s Messiah”. 

Interestingly enough, the Gospel of John doesn’t mention this particular conversation, yet this was a very important event in the lives of the disciples because this is the point where Jesus is making sure that they know who He is. 

Now we know this verse in Matthew to be Peter’s confession of who Jesus is, and the revelation that Peter didn’t just come across this information on his own but that God Himself has given this knowledge to Peter. 

So who do you say He is? 
Is He your Savior, your Friend, your Leader? 
If He is your Savior, are you keeping Him to yourself, or are you telling others who He is?
