JESUS ASKED PETER WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?

Matthew 16, When Jesus came to Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who are the people saying I am?” “Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; some, Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.” Then he asked them, “Who do you think I am?” Simon Peter answered, “The Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” “God has blessed you, Simon, son of Jonah,” Jesus said, “for my Father in heaven has personally revealed this to you this is not from any human source. You are Peter, a stone; and upon this rock I will build my church; and all the powers of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever doors you lock on earth shall be locked in heaven; and whatever doors you open on earth shall be open in heaven!” Then he warned the disciples against telling others that he was the Messiah. FRIENDS, PETER RECOGNIZED JESUS AS CHRIST, THE MESSIAH! Acts 17:3 the prophecies about the sufferings of the Messiah and his coming back to life, prove that Jesus is the Messiah.
