1 Chronicles 21:1-30; Ezekiel 20:1-44; John 7:12-30
Who do you say that I am? Matthew 16:15
Our Lord’s question is the fundamental question we all must settle in our minds and hearts. Peter correctly answered that Jesus is the Son of God (v. 16). A short while later (Acts 2), Peter preached a sermon with the same theme. He presented three arguments that proved Jesus is God’s Son. What was Peter’s evidence?
Jesus fulfilled prophecy (humanly impossible, see vv. 29-31); He performed miracles (humanly impossible, v. 22), and He rose from the dead (humanly impossible, see v. 24). Over 300 fulfilled prophecies. At least 37 recorded miracles. More than 500 eyewitnesses of the risen Christ. There’s 837 reasons why we can fully
trust and follow Christ. —Brian Cretney
“What think ye of Christ?” Is the test, to try both your state and your scheme;
You cannot be right in the rest, unless you think rightly of Him.—J. Newton
