Who Do You Say I Am?
Megan Hamori, Scripture II, Block E
Matthew 16:13-20
Bible Verse #1
This Bible verse is very important to me because I think that it truly outlines what Jesus stood for and advocated during His lifetime. One of my favorite things about Jesus is that He is extremely accepting. He does not see color of skin, or gender, or handicaps. All He sees is the kind of person you are within the heart. In my own life, I am constantly advocating for both gender equality and equal rights for all, and because Jesus was someone able to look past certain things that may cause discrimination, I can also follow His example.

Bible Verse #2
This passage is very meaningful to me because it reminds me that no matter what I do or where I go, or what circumstance I am in, God is always with me. He protects me through any type of hardship that I may suffer, which gives me an extreme sense of comfort because I know that even if things go terribly wrong, God is there to help me back up. The aspect of Jesus being constantly there with us is comforting, adding to His kindness and love for all people.
