Reading: Matthew 16:13-20
Devotional: "Who is God and why should I obey Him?" This question divides all humanity. Pharaoh asked it arrogantly; Peter answered it with revelation. When Peter declared Jesus as "the Christ, the Son of the living God," he crossed a threshold that would define his entire existence. We all must answer this question—not just once, but daily through our choices and priorities. Sitting on the fence is not neutrality; it's a decision by default. The world demands proof before surrender, but faith requires surrender before understanding. When you declared Jesus as Lord, you entered a battlefield that has raged since Eden. Your allegiance to Christ is not a minor lifestyle preference—it's a cosmic declaration that threatens every false lord competing for human hearts. Who is Jesus to you today? Does your life reflect your answer?
