"Who do men say that I am?" So they answered, "John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do YOU say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ (the Messiah)." (Mark 8:27-29)
Jesus had just finished feeding over four thousand with seven pieces of bread and a few small fish. Yet still the disciples were worried how they would eat beyond that day. He went on to heal a man's blindness at Bethsaida. As they travelled on toward Caesarea Philippi, twenty five miles north of the Sea of Galilee, at the base of Mt. Hermon, Jesus had a casual conversation with His disciples . . . "What are people saying about me anyway?"
Sometimes, as we struggle through life, we even ask ourselves, "Who is this Jesus anyway?" Better yet, we may be asked, "How do you know for sure He is who you say He is?" After all He has done and is doing, people still doubt . . .
More often than not, it is our actions and not our words that prove to others that Jesus is indeed Lord and Savior of our lives . . . not simply Savior, but Lord AND Savior! I often reply to my very intelligent (but sadly lacking in wisdom)relative who loves to debate the existence of God and the Truths of the Bible: "He is MY God and MY Savior . . . MY Lord and MY Redeemer . . . You cannot change MY mind!" He knows I know, but sadly he rejects the reality of MY God. He just can't come to let himself believe . . . but I will not give up on him or God!
Anyone in your life still seeking? Let them see and witness a real God in your life. Live out LOUD for Jesus in front of all to see!!!!

Others religions recognize Jesus as what they believe and have been told, but we as followers of Jesus shall recognize him as our savior and the Messiah.
