---THE CHRIST / JESUS ~~

----"Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
--(Matthew 16:16)--
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
---Confusion existed about just who Jesus was. There were some who believed He was his own cousin, John the Baptist. Others believed Him to be Elijah or another prophet. All of these people were wrong. Peter correctly identified who Jesus is.

Peter's confession emphasized that Jesus was indeed the Christ. Jesus was the very Son of God. Not a son or just a god, but the Son of the true and living God. He, the Christ, came to suffer and die for the sins of mankind. He came that all might have life in the living God, Jehovah Yahweh. YHWH= The loving Covenant-keeping God, our Creator. Jesus said, "I and my Father are One." They are One in the same.

God is the Author and Perfecter of life. It is He who created all life, including our own. It is He who restored life to those who were dead in sin. Only the one true Jehovah G-D is able to accomplish this life restoring work.

Thanks be to God that He has brought life to us. Just as Peter found himself under condemnation for his sin, we are all under condemnation for our sin. The very Christ whom Peter confessed as Lord is our living Jehovah G-D. In Him is life eternal.
Who is Jesus? Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. Jesus is the promised Messiah. He is the Christ. Jesus is the one who has given us life now and for all eternity. Don't try to change or guess what this means. Accept Jehovah G-D at his Word. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God, and the Word was with God." --(JOHN Chapter 1 verse 1)=The Deity of Jesus Christ.
** CHRIST MEANS "MESSIAH"- Jesus perfectly fulfilled all the Old Testament prophecies that spoke of the Messiah's first coming. And the remaining Messianic prophecies will be fully realized when He returns to reign on the Earth as King above all kings. GIVE HIM PRAISE!
