"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us." - C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” - Matthew 16:15
Often times throughout our day, we here a lot of different things about who Jesus is. Whether it's on the radio, TV, movies, or in conversations we have with people, it seems like everyone has some sort of opinion of who Jesus is. The thing is though, we don't get to pick and choose who Jesus is. His Word has revealed exactly who He is. And Jesus has posed the same question to us that He did those disciples in Caesarea Philippi. How you answer this question has eternal implications. Who do you say that He is?

Great word! This question from Matthew 16:15 has also been on my heart the past few days. Definitely the most important question we must consider in life.
