Who Do You Say I Am?

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16

Jesus asked one of his closest friends and followers, "Who do you say I am?" Peter told Jesus all the different identities and names that others around town had called him. Some of his answers were John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, a prophet. But the Lord didn't care what others called him at that point. He turned to Peter and asked him what HE called him. Peter declared Jesus was the "Messiah, the Son of the living God."

"Do You Trust Me?"

A good friend of mine from my Community Group shared a video testimony with our group this past week. This man's testimony truly touched my heart. I had heard of him before, but never watched any videos on him or read about his story. This past week at church, we discussed going through darkness in our lives and how God shines light into our darkness. I feel like I have been in a dark time for about three years now. Probably the darkest time in my life thus far.
