And Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Matthew 16:16
Who is this Jesus? Who is this one called the Christ? Napoleon called Him "the Emperor of Love." Theologian and philosopher David Strauss called Him "The highest model of religion." Philosopher John Stuart Mill called Him "the Guide of Humanity." Linguist and historian Joseph Ernest Renan said that Christ was the "greatest among the sons of men." John the Baptist called Him "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).
Christ asked those closest to Him, "Whom do men say that I am?" The disciples answered, "Some say that you are John the Baptist, or Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the prophets." Then Christ must have turned and looked directly into their faces as He asked the question personally: "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God" (see Matt. 16:15,16).
You can personally experience Christ in your life - not as an historical personage, but as a living Savior who wants to indwell in your heart. Whom do you say that He is?
