Luke 20:41-21:4 "What is Your Relationship to Jesus?"

The crowds also believed He was human…that He was John the Baptist, or Elijah, or one of the prophets…
But His disciples believed He was the Christ of God.
Christ comes from the Greek word Christos…which means "the anointed one," or "the chosen one."
The Hebrew word Mashiach…or as we know it…Messiah…means the exact same thing.
So, they believed He was God’s Messiah…God’s anointed One…but did they believe He was the Son of God…God in the flesh?
Peter recognized His divinity when Jesus had him put his nets out once more and he caught so many fish the boat was about to capsize.
And Peter fell on his knees and said: “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” (Luke 5)
They all began to see Him as divine when Jesus calmed the storm that threatened to sink their boat…and they said:
“Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (Mark 4:41 ESV)
And finally, Peter would make the pronouncement “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16 ESV)
Jesus is the Messiah…the Son of God…God in the flesh…100% man, 100% God…
But what would we as believers answer if Jesus asked us, “Who do you say that I am?”
Who is Jesus to you?
