Dear Father, There is a common tendency among humans to try to alter the way people perceive us. Often, this isn't something we do by explicitly saying, “This is who I am.” It just happens subconsciously that the major motive driving our pursuits isn't just our progress, but not to be seen as failures by the people whose perspectives matter greatly to us. Today, I pondered the conversation Jesus had with His disciples when He asked them, “Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?” This very question is asked and debated everywhere around the world today. I would expect that, in seeking to understand the identity of a person, we would first seek out conversations like this. But sadly, there is more to obtaining the truth behind this revelation than the natural perception of people. The disciples responded, saying, “Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.” Jesus then said unto them, “But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus responded to Peter, saying, “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” I hate to write this to You, Father, but despite this conversation, some still say that Jesus was just a prophet. Perhaps this is the very plan of the enemy: to steal the truth despite its revelation. Perhaps it is because the truth behind this revelation is the very determinant of our salvation and right standing with You. Or perhaps it is because it requires more than intellectual debate to see beyond the veil of Jesus' very purpose on earth. This Scripture reveals Jesus’ interest in knowing that we have the right perception of Him. Because this revelation changes everything.
