Who Do People Say the Jesus Is? | Peter's Confession

Peter’s confession has become the confession of the true Church of Jesus Christ from this moment. It is who we are and what we are about. This distinguishes the true from the flash Christians and the genuine from the harlot Church. Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ serves as the pentacle of the Gospel According to Mark. Everything in this book of the Bible has been building up to this revelation from the mouth of Peter the Apostle. Though they did not really understand what it meant for Him and them, Jesus’ followers, if not the general population, had on some higher level realized that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
