“All About Jesus”
Colossians 1:15-20
In Matthew 16, we find Jesus having a conversation with His disciples that would shape how they related to Him and determine the path of their entire lives. The question He asked is twofold. First, He asked, “Who do the people say that I am?” They gave a variety of answers from Elijah, to a great teacher, to a prophet. Then Jesus narrowed the question to them by asking, “Who do you say I am?” Peter, the spokesman for the 12 answered by saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” It’s amazing how different the answers are from each other. The looming question is, why? What led to the differences? The answer was determined by their experiences with Jesus–seeing Jesus clearly gave the disciples the focus that everything was all about Jesus. As we continue in our Vision Series, “Becoming a Reflection of God’s Truth”, we will unpack the first key to being a Christ-filled disciple by seeing how the amazing encounter with Christ shapes our life to be all about Jesus.
