Yesterday, we took some time to ask, “Who am I?” and uncovered that what we might actually need is to ask a different question. Today, we are looking to a key passage of scripture to uncover that question.

Summary

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it

Matthew 16:13-20

When Peter recognized who Jesus was, Jesus, in return, told Peter who he was. Take a moment to consider the weight of that exchange. In an instant, Peter knew who He was because He first recognized who Christ was.

Who is God to you?

For Peter, knowing who God is and what God said to be true not only changed everything about him but it gave him a mission to build the church. In knowing Him, we can know ourselves, and we can discover what He has called us to do.

You can think of it like this: Whatever is on the throne of your life will tell you who you are and what you are called to do.

What's Next?

Like Peter, Jesus wants to tell you who you really are. Take some time in the scriptures and ask, “Who does God say I am?”

  2. What is on the throne of your life right now?
