Join us as we continue in Matthew. This week we are in Matthew 16:13-28. Jesus asks, āWho do you say that I am?ā in Matthew 16:15.
We see three truths in this passage:
First, we must confess the KingāJesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (16:13ā20).
Second, we must consider the Crossāthe suffering and death of the Messiah are not a detour, but Godās mission to save (16:21ā23).
Third, we must carry the Crossādenying self and following Jesus is costly, but itās the path that leads to life (16:24ā28).
Who Jesus is shapes where you go and what you carry.
What are you followingāChristās mission, or your own comfort?
So take a moment, breathe, and let this sink in: Jesus isnāt just asking what you believeāHeās inviting you to respond. Get ready to be encouraged, challenged, and drawn closer to Him.
