Coming to Life: 30-Day Devotionalಮಾದರಿ

Who Do You Say That I Am?

At the heart of the gospel is a question: Who do you say that Jesus is? Crowds debated — a prophet, a teacher, perhaps even Elijah returned. But Peter’s confession remains the foundation of faith: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

To acknowledge Jesus as Christ is to recognize Him as God’s promised King. To call Him the Son of God is to see Him as divine, the one in whom the fullness of deity dwells.

Jesus does not allow neutrality. He calls us to follow Him — to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and walk His way. Peter himself wavered, sometimes bold and sometimes weak, yet Jesus restored him and used his confession as the rock upon which the church would be built.

Even when others turned away, Peter declared, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” That question echoes today. If not Jesus, then who? No one else can save. No one else can satisfy.

Philippians promises that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The question is not whether we will confess but when. Today is the day of faith, the day to declare with Peter: “You are the Christ.”
