Jesus Christ is so much more than a good moral Teacher. He is the Son of God Himself!
In this part of Mark's Gospel, Jesus was beginnng to teach His disciples that He was more than a miracle-worker. They were in Caesarea Philippi – an area that was filled and surrounded with temples and shrines for idolatrous worship. Jesus asked about who most people thought He was, and then He specifically asked the disciples who they thought He was. In this minute of Holy Spirit-given clarity, Peter answered, "You are the Christ!" He is the Messiah – the Anointed One – that the Old Testament prophets had foretold for so long. He is the Great High Priest Who is without sin and came to put an end to all the animal sacrifices. And He is also the King of kings.
People today – even in the Church – are uneasy with the Jesus of the Bible, and so they try to make Him out to be whatever they want Him to be. Who do you say Jesus is? Do you recognize Him as the Son of God? Do you recognize Him as the Lord of your life? Do you recognize Him as your only hope in life and death?
Jesus is asking you today, "Who do you say that I am?"
