PETER'S CONFESSION OF CHRIST
Key verse: 20
NIV
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(A)(B)
18 Once when Jesus was praying(C) in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
19 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(D) others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”(E)
20 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”(F)
Jesus Predicts His Death
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.(G) 22 And he said, “The Son of Man(H) must suffer many things(I) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(J) and he must be killed(K) and on the third day(L) be raised to life.”(M)

1. Who do you say I am? (18-20)
Once, when Jesus was praying, he asked his disciples 2 questions. One was objective; the other, subjective. The crowds knew that Jesus was a good man, even a prophet. But Jesus' disciples who lived with him and had a personal relationship with him knew that Jesus was the Messiah. He is the fulfillment of all God's promises; he was sent by God to save us from sin and death. He is our hope. He is the one worthy of our worship. To confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, means to commit one's heart and life to him.
2. The Son of Man must suffer (21-22)
'Son of Man' is a Messianic title (Da 7:13). The Messiah is the king God promised to send to rule; but first he must suffer and die and be raised from death, for this is God's way of conquering sin and death and winning victory over Satan.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are my Christ, my Savior and King. I know that your death on the cross is for me.
One Word: Jesus is my Christ and God
