Who Do You Say? Reading With the People of God #19Näide

Closing Primer: “Who Do You Say I Am?”

As we draw near the conclusion of our 2025 reading plan, we return again to the central question Jesus asked His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” (Luke 9:20 ESV) Over the past weeks, we’ve walked through the story of Job, explored the faithfulness of God through the last five books of the New Testament, and reflected on the coming of Christ in the Gospel nativity accounts.

These readings have challenged us to see God’s sovereignty, His redemption, and His faithfulness—even in circumstances that feel hopeless, confusing, or unfair. We’ve seen Job endure great loss yet trust in God, and we’ve followed the promise of Christ through the lineage of people who seemed unlikely vessels of God’s plan.

As we move into our final readings—Job 42 and Revelation 22:6-21—we will see the full arc of God’s redemption: Job’s restoration and the ultimate promise of Christ’s return and eternal reign. These passages invite us to answer Jesus’ question personally, with the wisdom and hope we’ve been gathering along the way.

Take time to reflect: Who do you say Jesus is? How has your understanding grown or shifted? How do you see God’s faithfulness in your own story, like Job, or in the unfolding story of His kingdom, like the vision of Revelation?

As you read these closing passages, write down your answer to this question. Let it be a living reflection of the faith, hope, and trust you are cultivating in Jesus, the One who is faithful from beginning to end.
