And Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?”

That question asked by Jesus elicited so many different answers; the disciples said that people were saying that Jesus was John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the other prophets. But that was followed by the key question that everybody has to answer at one point in their lives as He said to them: “Who do you say I am?” {Mar.8:29}

Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” {Mat.16:16-17} To know, truly know, who Jesus is requires that glorious revelation from heaven! But praise God, now the Helper, the Holy Spirit has been sent to lead us into all truth! {Jn.16:13} And He bears witness of Jesus. {Jn.15:26}

Billions of people know ‘about’ Jesus but it seems that only relatively few people actually know Jesus. He has been revealed to us as the Way, the Truth and the Life. {Jn.14:6} We believers now know that He is the King of Kings, He is Emmanuel, He is the Good Shepherd, He is the Master, the Word made flesh, the Son of God, the Son of David, the Light of the World, the King of the Jews, the Lamb of God and our Savior—and that brings us back to the great revelation, He is the Christ, (not His name, but His title) the promised Messiah of Israel. While He did so very much more through His life and ministry, He was sent to earth for one reason—to die on the cross!

Jesus was born to die—to die in my place and your place that we might have eternal life with our Father in heaven. When He faced Pontius Pilate and death on the cross, Jesus said ‘for this reason I have been born, and for this I have come into the world’. {Jn.18:37} The Lord Jesus came ready to shed His blood so that you and I might be saved. He died that we would be cleansed from the stain of sin, for without the shedding of blood, His pure and holy blood, there is no forgiveness of sin! {Lev.17:11} Now we have been set free to serve!

“But Jesus called (His disciples} to Himself, and said, ‘You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them. 
 It is not so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.’” (Matthew 20:25-28)

BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD
