Who do you say that I am?” This message emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus' identity as the Messiah – the anointed one, and the implications of that confession for believers. When culture, society, and government regularly practice worshipping other gods, the realization of Jesus as the Messiah for those who are disciples changes everything. It moves us beyond nominal Christian beliefs, and toward being an incarnational presence in our day-to-day lives; awakened, empowered, steadfast disciples, on mission as the Bride of Christ.
