Aug 20, 2024 · Jesus began the conversation by asking a related question: “Who do the crowds say I am?” (Luke 9:18). In response, the disciples related the various things they had heard: the opinions included several personages come back to life, pointing to the fact that the crowds viewed Jesus as someone special. But the crowds’ guesses were all wrong.

Aug 21, 2020 · In the passage today Jesus himself poses the question. First, he asks the disciples about the “people’s” understanding of Jesus’ identity. Their response indicates that a common ...
Jesus’ question is posed in a physical space that doesn’t recognize the authority of the God of Scripture. In all three accounts, Jesus poses two questions, the first of which is “Who do people say I am?” (Matthew 16:13; Mark 8:27; Luke 9:18). The disciples readily answer with the public’s perception of Jesus.
Jan 16, 2022 · But one thing he didn’t teach him, one thing that flesh and blood did not pass on, was Peter’s answer to the most important question ever asked. No, what Peter just announced came from Jesus’s heavenly Father not Peter’s earthly one; from Jehovah, not Jonah. This is still true today. That Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, is a ...

I mean, only one answer is correct. It is not, “Jesus, however you conceive Him to be.” Jesus didn’t say, “Great answer, Peter! Do any of the rest of you have any different thoughts? Yes, Judas, how do you feel about Me?” Some say, “For me, Jesus is always accepting and loving.” But Jesus isn’t whatever you want Him to be. How you feel about Jesus ...
Some of you have already affirmed this point, because you didn’t like what I just said against the unity movement! You have to be careful here, because none of us likesconfrontation or division. We all prefer peace and unity. But if you go by your emotions, you will fall into serious doctrinal error and defection from God’s revealed truth. But read...
Peter’s answer, “the Christ of God,” is certainly correct. But, Peter had a different conception of what that meant than Jesus did. Peter meant, “You are the promised Anointed One who will sit on David’s throne, ruling the nations with a rod of iron.” That is quite correct when understood of Messiah’s second coming. But, in regard to His first comi...
Jesus goes on to warn the disciples not to tell anyone and then He tells them of His impending death. Luke omits Peter’s rebuke of Jesus and Jesus’ corresponding rebuke of Peter (Matt. 16:22-23). But we know that Jesus’ words were not what the disciples expected to hear or wanted to hear. Their idea of the Christ was a political Messiah who would p...
What’s your answer to Jesus’ crucial question, “Who do you say that I am?” You may be standing with the multitude, saying, “Jesus is a fine example, a great teacher, even a prophet. But He is not the Sovereign Lord of my life.” That is a badly mistaken answer. You may be standing with Peter, saying correctly, “You are the Christ,” but not understan...
How would you answer the person who said, “If Jesus works for you, that’s great, but He’s not for me”?Is it right to appeal to a person to believe in Jesus for the temporal benefits they will receive?What expectations of Christ did you have which He has not fulfilled? Were they biblical expectations?Discuss: “The whole aim of Satanic policy is to get self-interest recognized as the chief aim of man.”As is the case most times when Jesus asks a question, He asked the disciples "Who do you say that I am?" because He wanted to reveal the truth to them through the answer. Jesus asks this question in Luke 9:20 (see also Matthew 16:13; Mark 8:27). At the beginning of Luke 9, Jesus gives the disciples power to cast out demons and heal the sick; He ...

How Do We Respond to Jesus? by Gayle D. Beebe, Ph. D. President. For me, the Gospel of Matthew opens up some of the great questions of life. In the middle of the book comes an incredible query. Jesus turns to Peter and asks, “Who do you say that I am?”. Peter makes a response that echoes throughout the chapters: “You are the Christ, the ...
