Who Is Jesus?
Matthew 16:13-20

When Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?”

Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:15-16

The Lord asks us the same question, though not with audible words.

There are many answers, but let’s check Scripture for three overarching truths:

1. Jesus is God the Son, a member of the Trinity.

After Jesus's baptism, the heavens opened, the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and the Father Himself announced, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”
Matthew 3:17

2. Christ is the Savior of mankind.

When Adam and Eve chose to sin against God, there was a separation between God and man.

In Old Testament times, an animal sacrifice was necessary to atone for the wrong in one’s life.

But that was only a temporary solution, until Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, atoned once for all mankind's sin.

Jesus was the only One who could satisfy God’s requirement for a Savior, because Jesus had no sin.
2 Corinthians 5:21

3. Jesus is our High Priest.

In Old Testament times, a mediator, often a temple priest, interceded between God and man, offering an animal’s blood as atonement for sin.

Jesus’s death and resurrection took away the need for such sacrifices.

Jesus Christ now stands as our intercessor, the bridge between Holy God and sinful man.
Hebrews 7:25-26

Who do we believe Jesus is?

These characteristics of Jesus Christ are taken directly from the Bible.

Do they align with our understanding?

We need to check our view of Jesus Christ against the standard of Scripture.

Then ask the Lord to reveal Himself so that we can know Jesus Christ accurately and personally.
