Matthew 16:13-18 Pastor Jeff Jowers

Who do People Say?

Peter points out that the opinions of Jesus compare Him to admirable people.

There were other opinions that painted Jesus in an evil light.

Even the seemingly honoring opinions fall short of reality.

The road to destruction is as wide as there are opinions of Jesus.

Who do you Say He Is?

All of us must answer the question of who we believe Jesus is.

Peter’s answer is a loaded statement of the uniqueness of Jesus.

Your life says something about who Jesus is.

Believing Jesus is just a prophet or leader puts you in the same place

as saying He’s demonic.

Who’s Right?

Jesus clears up the division about His identity.

Jesus’ identity is foundational for the church (Ephesians 2:20).

We do not get to define what kind of Messiah we want.

Are you caught up in the opinion polls or are you going to accept God

saying who He is?
