JCS SCHOOL NEWS

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ†?Ǭ† Matthew 16:13-16
?Ǭ†In verse 13, Jesus asked His disciples who other people said the Son of Man is. They answered by throwing out four possibilities in verse 14. But who others thought that Jesus might be was not His major concern. It was just a way to lead into what really mattered. Who did they, personally, the disciples, say that Jesus was? Peter answered only for himself when he responded with ?¢‚Ǩ?ìYou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
?Ǭ†So many people want to give the same kind of answer that the disciples gave in verse 14. They will say, like so many others, that He was a good man, or that He is just one of many men who can show them the way to Heaven, or that He was just a man that lived and then died like all other men.
?Ǭ†When a man dies and stands before Jesus Christ, He will ask them just one question. Who did they think that He was while they lived on earth? The only correct answer, the only answer that will gain them an entrance into Heaven is ?¢‚Ǩ?ìYou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù?Ǭ†
