Whom say that I am?

Whom say that I am?

Not the road's rumor, not another man's reply Whom say that

I am? near Caesarea Philippi answers traveled with

their feet John the Baptist Elias one of the prophets returned

every name carried honor none of them reached the truth, then

Jesus turned the question from the crowd toward the few, but

who say thou art the Christ?

Then he spoke of rejection, suffering death three days Then

rising, Peter heard Christ and wanted glory without the road. He

took Jesus aside and rebuked the suffering he had foretold Get

thee behind me, Satan!

The crowd came near, now the question changed What does it

mean to follow the Christ you have named? Deny yourself, take

up the cross, follow him Hold your life too

tightly Lose it, lose it for Him And the gospel save

it What can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Whom say that I am?

Thou art the Christ, then follow where the Christ is going.

The cross, the cross stood ahead, beyond it, the son of

man in glory.
