"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
Thoughts on This Verse....
A lot of people have their opinions about Jesus' identity. The real issue, however, is what you believe about Jesus. What you decide about God's Son means everything for you and for those you influence. So listen to Jesus' question to his disciples as if he is asking it of you: "Who do you say I am?" I pray that your answer is the same as Peter's: “You are the Messiah, the Son of God.”
God the Son
Captain of salvation
Hebrews 2:10
In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.
The Apostle and High Priest of our profession
Hebrews 3:1
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.
Forerunner
Hebrews 6:20
Where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
