Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
27 And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Reflect
Jesus was and is the promised Messiah, yet the religious leaders of the time could not see it, despite all of their knowledge of prophecy and scripture. It is only when you are in Christ that the "eyes of your heart" (Ephesians 1:18) are opened to understand the things of God. Thank God today for revealing Himself to you, and for drawing you in to a relationship with the Messiah, Jesus!
