“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
Matthew 16.13
What are people saying about me? Jesus’ question is a brave one. It’s a great interview question for potential employees. What do your colleagues or clients say about you? What are you proud that they say about you?
Jesus’ question to his first disciples echoes down the centuries. Who do we say Jesus is? A prophetic reformer who hopes to breathe life into the legalistic religion of his day? A revolutionary whose incendiary preaching catches him in the crushing gears of empire? Is he the greatest party giver ever who invites everyone to come to his banquets? Is Jesus the omega point in whom all creation will converge?
What do people say about you that indicates they see you are a Christian?
