names of God: The Christ by ric gustafson


Matthew 16:16- ' Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God'


This term refers to God the Son. Christ is the Greek translation of Messiah or Anointed One. The Apostle Peter made this profound statement of faith. In the verses before this passage, Jesus is asking his disciples whom do men say that I the Son of Man is. They replied John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah or another prophet. Then Jesus asked them but who do you say that I am. Peter replied ' you are the Christ, the Son of the living God'.
As followers of Jesus, we need to be bold like Peter and say to everyone ' Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God'.
