The Most Important Question

There are some pretty common questions out there. What is your name? Where are you from? What do you do for work?

But there's one question that is more important than any other question. The question comes out of the following interchange:

"[Jesus] asked his disciples, 'Who do people say the Son of Man is?'They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. 'But what about you?' he asked. 'Who do you say I am?' (Matthew 16:13-15).

Who do you say Christ is? That is the most important question.

Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16).

I want to echo Peter. If Christ asked me, "Who do you say I am?" I hope I would say, "You are Christ, the Son of the Living God. You are my Lord." Not only would I want to say it, but I'd want every act of my life stamped with that reality.
