Mark 8:22-30
Passage: After performing many miracles Jesus finally asks the disciples “who do people say that I am?” They list several popular opinions. Then Jesus gets to the point with them. “Who do you say that I am?” Peter finally understands and says, “You are the Christ.”
Application: I need to ask myself this question more often. Andrew, who do you say Jesus is? This is the greatest question I could ever ask myself. All of eternity hangs on this question. If Jesus is not the Christ then the eternal wrath of God looms over my head. If Jesus was just a great teacher then all of hell’s terror awaits my eternal company. If Jesus is not the Christ then I must bear my own punishment, my own horrific cross of judgment. Oh Jesus, thank you for revealing yourself to me as the Christ! You took my place on the cross. Thank you! You are the Christ!
