what about you?

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ." Mark 8:29

Peter had an answer to who he thought Jesus was. Peter, after being filled with the Holy Spirit in Acts Chapter two, gives a very powerful confession on who he believes Jesus to be. The question is, who do you think Jesus is? What does Jesus mean to you? Give me a list of ten words as to what Jesus means to you if you would like. If not, at least spend some quiet time meditating on your own confession about who Jesus is. What does He mean to you?

Believe it or not this is not just some cute exercise that I'm trying to get you to do. This is, and will the very foundation of your faith. If your confession about Christ is unclear, your walk with God will be unclear. If it is a weak confession, your foundation will be weak. In order to build on a foundation, it needs to be solid, sturdy, and sure. Peter spoke of his own very solid foundation,
but what about you?
