Who do others say I am? They get it wrong. We certainly must have grace with how they are doing and where they are on their walk. We were all unbelievers at some point too...
But who do YOU SAY I am? DTR this relationship. Call it what it is. Put it in writing. Put it in verbal ink. I want you to SAY IT.
Of interest, Jesus already knows what they are thinking. So then, why does Jesus ask the question? It is because "somebody" doesn't know the answer. Who? It is the speaker! In the speaking, it helps define one's thoughts and one's position; one's declaration; where exactly I stand.
Today's charge: Listen and then SAY IT.
