Luke 9:20
“He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.””
What does Luke 9:20 mean?
Jesus asks his followers this question right after they've reported what other people are saying about him. Peter's answer—"the Christ of God"—means he recognizes Jesus as the promised Messiah, the one God sent to rescue and restore humanity. It's a profound moment because Peter isn't just repeating gossip or popular opinion; he's making a personal declaration about who Jesus truly is. This question still matters today because it invites each of us to move beyond what we've heard about Jesus and decide for ourselves what we believe about him.
