Jeopardy
When Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?”, he wasn’t just looking for a correct answer—he was inviting them to wrestle with the most important question of their lives. And when Peter declared, “You are the Messiah,” he stepped into a truth that would change everything.
“But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah of God.” (Luke 9:20)
Questions shape us more than answers ever could. What questions are you bringing to Jesus today? Whether you’re asking why, how, or where next, the answer—ultimately—is found in him.
