*REFLECTION*
#*Jesus asked the disciples who the people say He is* (Matthew 16:13). They understood the crowds of followers to believe Jesus to be a powerful prophet, maybe even one returned from the dead, or John the Baptist. To contrast that view, Jesus asked the disciples who they say He is (Matthew 16:15).
answers on behalf of the group. Once more, this indicates he has become the *informal leader of the Twelve*(Matthew 10:1–4). Peter's answer is simple, straightforward, and emphasizes the center of Jesus' identity: *You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.*
often acting like a man "of little faith," according to Jesus (Matthew 14:31; 16:8), Peter has perceived and believed an essential truth about Jesus. The word Christ means "Messiah" or "Anointed One." Peter doesn't stop with recognizing that Jesus is the fulfilment of God's promises for a Savior, he also declares that Jesus is the Son of God, acknowledging that Jesus is, in fact, divine.
*proclamation of faith* by Peter was very important. Everyone should come to this place of recognising Jesus as the MESSIAH. When we also can say what Peter declared then this season of Lent becomes fruitful
