“Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16

Who is Jesus? Observing the ways He is portrayed these days, it’s almost impossible to recognize Him as the Jesus of the Bible. Some groups add to what the Bible says about Him, whileothers diminish Him to simple humanity, claiming that He was merely a wise teacher or a master moralist. Some would like to make Him disappear altogether.

But this is nothing new. It’s been happening for nearly 2,000 years. Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the US declaration of Independence, he went through the New Testament Gospels with scissors and cut out all references to Jesus’ deity and the supernatural. This is known as ‘The Jefferson Bible’. Even recently, people have approached the Gospels in similar ways.

When Jesus asked His twelve disciples what people were saying about who He was, some answers were Elijah, Jeremiah, and John the Baptist, but these answers were all inadequate. Peter was correct when he said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16).

Don’t be deceived by fuzzy, watered down, or false descriptions of Jesus that you read, see, or hear about. When people try to minimize His identity, tell them in no uncertain terms who the real Jesus is.

Beloved if we don’t have an active relationship with Jesus what we say does not matter as they are just words.

With a relationship with Jesus it shows all, who He is, our all in all, our completeness. To know Jesus is to know God.
