....but who do You say I am?
It seems as if this just came up in conversation. Jesus and the disciples were on the road again after going to another village and its crowd and then past the city limits and other passersby. On the road again. And it may well be that they had been talking about the places they had most recently been, recalling the past weeks and months of traveling and teachings and miracles and prophesies. At the center of it all - all the excitement and questions and answers and challenges and controversy and followers and detractors - at the center was Jesus.
After polling the group on who the followers thought the Messiah was, Jesus makes it simple and personal. "But who do You say I am?"
In these latter days, some say a prophet, a teacher, an idealist, a radical. Still others say Lord, brother, the Son of God.
This Sunday, think about your relation - as a Christian - to Jesus.
Who is He to you? Who do You say He is?

I don't mean this to sound heretical or ungrateful, but actually, the most often "identity" for Jesus with which I interact is as closest friend and confidante. My mind knows him as "Savior", but my life experiences Jesus more as "Presence"
