DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 10-11; Ezekiel 12; John 4:1-30
Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matthew 16:16
This surely was the pinnacle of Peter’s experience with the Lord. Some thought of the Lord as John the Baptist raised from the dead, others thought He was Elijah, and some, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. But when the Lord challenged the disciples with the words, “But who do ye say that I am?", it was Peter who gave the Lord His proper title. How important it is that we have proper thoughts about Christ and His person. We live in a world where the Lord Jesus constantly has His character called into question. Let us be bold in our assertion that He is the “Son of the living God.” —W. H. Burnett
Thou Son of God, eternal Word, who heaven and earth’s foundation laid,
Upholding by Thy mighty power, the universe Thy hand hath made.—I. F.
