Then he asked them, "But who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Messiah sent from God!"
Luke 9:20 NLT
Peter nailed it.
The Messiah.
The one that God's people had been waiting for, and not just a man, but sent from God...wrapped up in that is the fully human yet fully God concept, sent from God to make a way...to be the way.
Who do you say Jesus is?
No matter where we are in our faith journey we need to keep answering that question for ourselves
With Jesus it's personal, & so is our response to him...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
