Who do you say that I am?

In Matthew 16:15-16, Jesus asks his disciples, "But what about you? Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answers, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God". This pivotal question marks a shift from public opinion to personal confession, defining the core of Christian faith.  

In John 14:6, Jesus declares Himself the exclusive path to God, stating: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" John 14:6 ESV. This fundamental Christian claim means He is the only mediator, the embodiment of divine truth, and the source of eternal life.

He is not here, He is risen!

"He is not here; he has risen" is a central declaration of the Christian faith, found in the New Testament of the Bible. It is the message delivered by an angel to the women who visited the tomb of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion, announcing his resurrection. 

Acts 1:11  "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.’”.
