WHO IS JESUS CHRIST TO YOU?
MATTHEW 16: 13
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? (KJV)
Child of God, how well do you know Jesus? Who is he to you? How you know Jesus is very important. Your knowledge of Jesus will go a long way in determining what you can do in Christ. When Jesus asked his disciples, they all answered according to how they knew him. They were saying what people said.
Simon Peter answered, you are the son of the living God. Jesus told him, upon this revelation of Christ, I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
The believer’s life is lived on the revelation of Christ. When you have the revelation of Christ, you become too powerful for the devil. Christ is our identity, therefore knowing Christ is knowing yourself. The accurate revelation of Christ is the accurate knowledge of your true identity. We are as he is. It is therefore expected of us to search the scriptures to know him. The scriptures testify of Jesus. He is the message of the scriptures.
Knowing Jesus is by the revelation of the scriptures. You can’t know him by dreams or visions. Knowing Jesus is not just mere accumulation of literature facts but by revelation or understanding of the scriptures. Till you know Jesus by revelation, you can never know yourself and will not be efficient in your life.
The scriptures are the testimony of Jesus. I will therefore be a diligent student of the scriptures to know Jesus who is my true identity.
Matthew 16: 13- 19,

John 5: 39- 47
