Who do you say He is?

29“But you,” He asked them again, “who do you say that I am? ”

Mark 8:29 HCSB

Who do you believe Jesus is? You see the way we answer this very important question will determine our eternal salvation. You might be thinking to yourself how is that possible? I was talking with a man today who was a very nice man. I asked him if he would join us one Sunday for fellowship. This man was very polite but declined my invitation, saying that he didn’t believe the same as we do. So as you probably guessed by now I asked him what he believed. After some circle talk he told me that he thought Jesus lived and even died upon the cross but wasn’t God’s son. He went on to say some other things that we will cover in further articles. You see much like this man there are many people who believe that Jesus lived and even died upon the cross but just want to believe that He was a good man, prophet or even a teacher. Then there are religions out there that believe that Jesus is a god, but not the God. Both of these views are completely contrary to what the Word of God says. The Bible tells us in John that Jesus (Word) was with God in the beginning and was God. It goes on to tell us at the baptism of Jesus, God spoke from Heaven telling us this is His Beloved Son. Maybe your thinking right now, everyone is entitled to his or her own views or opinions. Well you are right, but when they are wrong isn’t our duty as followers of Christ to share what’s right. When you are wrong about who Jesus is, that changes everything about salvation. You see our God doesn’t sit high upon a mountain and expect us to climb up to Him, He came to Earth in the form of His Son Jesus to redeem His creation back to Him. So they might be the best people in the world or sincerely believe something someone else has taught them. But when the rubber meets the road you can be well intentioned and still end up wrong. So let me ask you who do you say that Jesus is? You see Peter got this question right, what about you?
