Matthew 16:15-16 (NIV)
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do
you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son
of the living God.”
There is no other name under heaven that can save us (Acts
4:12). We are to confess Jesus before men, knowing that when we do, we can be
sure he will confess us before the Father in heaven. Jesus Christ is the Son of
God, our Savior and Lord. We may not know all the theological gravity behind
those words — after all, Peter didn't when he confessed Jesus as Christ — but
we can make a commitment to know him and follow him until we do know more.
Jesus asks us to open our hearts to his lordship and begin the journey toward
fuller knowledge and experience of him.
Thought for today:
Do I seek to expand my knowledge of God? Is my worship a ritual?
