"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being."- Matthew 16:13-17

Who do you say God is?
So often we have an unrealistic picture in our minds of who god is. Some people might describe Him as a "sniper in the sky" kind of being, who takes away all your fun and beats you up when you do wrong. Other believe He doesn't exist, or that if He does exist, He doesn't care about you.

Others believe that God is the Creator of the universe, the One who gave His son to die for your sins. They believe He loves you no matter what, and wants to forgive you for anything you've ever done wrong. Maybe you believe that, and all of that is true, but that doesn't answer the question.

Who do YOU say God is?
Do YOU have a relationship with YOUR creator? Maybe you've grown up in church, done all the "right things", and know for sure that you're going to heaven, and that's awesome! But there's so much more than that. Who do you say God is? Is He just some being taht you sing about on Sunday morning? Is He just what gets you out of a tough situation? Or is He the motivation behind everything you do, your strangth to make it through tough days, the One who you don't only turn to when you need help, but the One whose life you want to base your life on?

Is He just your Saviour? Or is He your Lord?
Who do YOU say God is?
