Who do you say I am?
The Jesus I see
Friend
John 15:15 "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."
Son of God
Psalm 2:7 "I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee."
The Way, The Truth, and The Life
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Jesus Christ
I see Jesus as our savior, but even if he is the Son of God he stays very human during the most part of His life. And not many people notice this that he actually is God, actually the majority of people see Him as an outcast, and that is not really the case.
Ever since we were little we were told that Jesus is our friend and that we can confide in him with everything, some people may have grown out of that " Jesus is my best friend" phase, but I genuinely believe that Jesus is our friend. I also the think that the disciples also knew that He was their friend, even if they saw Jesus as their teacher.
I learned from the footnotes and commentaries that many people had different perspectives on Jesus and who he was, but Jesus took more into consideration what his disciples thought of him, because they were his friends, and I think that it gave him peace that they genuinely believed that he was the Son of God. Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Messiah reflects the disciples’ hope that Jesus would rid Israel from its enemies. (The Collegeville Bible Commentary, New Testament. Page 885)
