Who do you say that I am?

"Men, you have been with me sometime now. Yet you are still unsure who I am, and what
my work is. Who do men say that I am?" They quickly answered, "Some say you are
John the Baptist, others say you are Elijah, and others say you are Jeremiah or one of the prophets." Jesus then looked at them intently and asked, "But who do you say that I am?" In typical aggressive style, Peter immediately replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus looked at Peter and said, "How blessed you are for having this truth revealed to you without the aid of religion. (Matthew 16:13-16) Isn't that just awesome?! WOW!! See, back in the Jesus days they didn't have the New Testament, only the Old Testament. So how did Peter know that this was Jesus the Messiah?!! The Son of the Living God!! His Truth. His Word. It was all there and Peter couldn't do anything but to just believe in it. When Jesus said "who do YOU say that I am? He doesn't care what others say about Him. He cares about what YOU say about Him. One of the greatest Christian writers, C.S.Lewis has said, "I gave in and admitted, that God was God."
