Reading: **Matthew 16:13–20; John 14:6** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Humanity’s problem isn’t solved by ideas, systems, or self-improvement—it’s solved by a Person. Jesus didn’t ask Peter what the crowd thought; He asked what he believed. That question still confronts us today. Jesus is not simply helpful—He is essential.

This confession changes your identity, your direction, and your destiny. Hope is not found in answers—it’s found in Him.** ** Who is Jesus to me personally, and how does that shape the way I live?** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Confess Jesus as Lord and ask Him to deepen your understanding of who He is—not just in knowledge, but in surrender.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Say aloud today: “Jesus, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 2. Read one Gospel passage and reflect on what it reveals about who Jesus is.
