The Incident that we are studying tonight took place six months before the crucifixion
This was a very pivotal in Jesus ministry, marking the climax of His teaching concerning His own person.
They have been with Him for 2 and half years of school
Divine Revelation
1,000’s of miracles
And teaching like none other
Feeding over 40,000 people creating food out of nothing

Jesus had been preparing His disciples for this private meeting at which He intended to reveal to them what would happen to Him at Jerusalem.
Introduction: Jesus was facing the end very, very soon and there was still much to teach the disciples.
It was time for them to learn that He was building a church—an assembly of people who would be confessing Him to be the Messiah.
: “Thou art the Christ.”
The importance of the question and its confession is clearly seen by glancing quickly at the points of the passage.
As mentioned previously, the phrase “on the way” (hodos) is more than a directional marker, for it became a metaphor for the direction God set before Jesus and the way Jesus called His disciples to follow by faith.
*What do the Crowds say that I’m
Often Jesus’ questions were springboards for new teaching
DEEPER STUDY # 1
(8:27) Caesarea Philippi: the city had a rich religious history.
It had once been the center of Baal worship with at least fourteen temples in and around the city.
It was believed to have within its borders the cavern in which the Greek god of nature, Pan, was born.
In the beginning of its history, the city was so identified with this god that it was named after the god, being called Panias.
One of its most beautiful structures was the gleaming white marble temple built for the worship of Caesar.
Herod the Great had built the temple in honor of Caesar when Caesar bestowed on him another country.
But it was Herod’s son Philip who adorned the temple with the magnificence for which it was known worldwide.
It was also Philip who changed the name of the city from Panias to Caesarea, Caesar’s town.
He added his own name also, calling the city Caesarea Philippi.
The city proclaimed far and wide the worship of Caesar and of the gods of one’s choice, that is, the worship of all except the One true and living God.
It was against this dramatic yet terrible background that Jesus asked the pointed question, “But who do you say that I am?” (emphatic Greek translation).
It was also against this background of religion that Peter made his great discovery and confession: Jesus is the Christ, the real Messiah.
