"Who do you say that I am?" Jesus asks his disciples. Simon Peter boldly responds, "You are the Messiah, Son of the living God." This is not merely a comment about Jesus but a confession rooted in his own experience of Jesus. Peter's confession serves as the foundation for the whole church. Together, by the grace of God and through the witness of one another, we come to know Jesus as our Messiah.
