Who is Jesus to you? In your heart? What has God spoken to YOU?
Knowing & hearing God for yourself is "Personal Revelation Knowledge." Not based on what your parents say, what your spouse says, what your church says - that's called rational knowledge.
The Church needs to be careful to not be lead by rational, intellectual knowledge - what others say.
It is more important than ever for us to be built up in Jesus, and hearing from God.
V 13 & 14 - Rational/Natural Knowledge
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
V 15 & 16 - Personal Revelation Knowledge
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:13-16
