Who Do You Say He Is? | Matthew 16

Feb 23, 2025    Elder John Nieves

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our relationship with Jesus Christ through the lens of His pivotal question: 'Who do you say I am?' We journey through three stages of spiritual growth - seeker, believer, and follower - each representing a deeper level of commitment and understanding. As seekers, we're reminded that God has placed eternity in our hearts, drawing us to Him. As believers, we embrace Jesus as our Savior, finding nourishment in His Word and fellowship with other Christians. But it's as followers that we truly answer Christ's call, denying ourselves and taking up our cross. This progression invites us to move beyond mere intellectual assent to active, obedient discipleship. The message emphasizes that our answer to Jesus' question isn't just in our words, but in how we live our lives. Are we truly allowing Jesus to be Lord, submitting to His authority, and imitating His love for others? This introspective journey challenges us to evaluate our faith and spurs us on to a more authentic, transformative relationship with Christ.
