Jesus also gets into asking the questions that make us think. And like before, this is actually a double question: Who do others say I am, and who do you say I am? Can you answer these questions? In truth, these are the most important questions you will ever answer. If you can answer these questions - the rest of life falls into place. Peter gets the right answers to the right questions. And when you answer the question correctly - there are life implications - both for eternity and for the here and now.

Going Through the Motions - Right Thinking

Who Do You Say I Am?

Matthew 16:13-18

Three truth statements Jesus wants to teach us:

1. The majority doesn't make it right. (Matthew 16:13-14)

I cannot follow culture and follow Christ.

2. He is the One. (Matthew 16:15-16)

He's not just the One they needed; He's the One we need.

3. When I know who He is, He will tell me who I am. (Matthew 16:17-18)

The Rock that Jesus would build His church on is the Gospel - knowing who He is.
