WORD FOR THE DAY DEVOTION — TUESDAY
WHO DO MEN SAY I AM?
Bible Reading: Matthew 16:13–17
Jesus asked His disciples a powerful question: “Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?”
People had different opinions about Jesus. Some said John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. But Jesus then asked the disciples a more personal question: “But whom say ye that I am?”
Peter answered by divine revelation: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
This teaches us that knowing what people say about Jesus is not enough. We must personally know who Jesus is.
Jesus is not only a prophet. He is not merely a teacher or a good man. He is the Christ, the Son of the living God, our Saviour, our Lord, and our Redeemer.
Today, ask yourself: Who is Jesus to me?
Is He only someone you call when you need help, or is He truly the Lord of your life?
When we truly know who Jesus is, our faith becomes stronger, our worship becomes deeper, and our lives begin to reflect Him.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, open my eyes to know You more deeply. Remove every wrong understanding of who You are. Help me to recognize You as the Christ, the Son of the living God, and make You the Lord over every area of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Today’s Declaration:
I know who Jesus is. He is my Lord, my Saviour, and the Christ, the Son of the living God. My life belongs to Him. Amen.
