Have you recognized Jesus as Christ?

And if Jesus asked him now: Who am I?

"When Jesus came to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples, saying, 'Who do men say to be the Son of man?'" (Matthew 16:13) Jesus Christ was not being curious because He knew, he will know the future, though He was testing the disciples. "And they said, Some, John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. "(Matthew 16:14) For us to be compared to John the Baptist is incredible, because he was a remarkable man, but for Jesus to be compared to Him not because He was decreasing the level, or since, at that time, people did not give the correct value of importance to the Messiah.

The key is to give due value and importance to Jesus Christ.

Today, I ask a question, how important have you been to Jesus? Is he the first in your life, or in some moments He gets to second ... third plan? The Holy Bible leaves a passage about a woman who does not live with Jesus, but she knew how to give the true importance to the Savior. "And she said, Yea, Lord, but the dogs also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters." (Matthew 15:27) That is, she said that only a single crumb that fell from Jesus' table would change life of his daughter. "Then answered Jesus, and said unto him, O woman, great is thy faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And from that hour his daughter was healed. "(Matthew 15:28) And then Jesus asked Peter, "He said to them, 'Who do you say that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. "(Matthew 16:15, 16) Peter knew how to give the right importance to Jesus. He confessed with his mouth that Jesus is the Christ, his Savior, and with that, he became the son of God. Hallelujah! "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and every one that loveth him that begat him also loveth him that is born of him "(1 John 5: 1).
