What Are the Crowds Saying?

Luke 9:20
²⁰ “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”    Peter answered, “The Christ^[a] of God.”

Has the Lord told you who you are? Jesus prayed with disciples but he asked them who the crowds said he was. Several of the disciples gave answers to what they heard in the crowd. But when Jesus turned to the spokesman of the disciples, he answered what they knew to be true and only revealed to them by God himself. The crowds only speculated but they would come to know in time who Jesus really was. But the ones that needed to know indeed knew. If the disciples relied on the crowds' speculation, which was not correct, then Jesus ' ministry could've died right there. In order for his ministry to live on, the disciples had to know for themselves who Jesus was.

What do the crowds say about you? Do they speculate as to who they think you are? Are they even on target in their thinking? But more importantly, the people that God wants to know, has it been revealed to them? Whoever the LORD deems you to be is who you are. What the crowds say is only speculation. But those who God wants to show will know.  And it will only by him that they know. Again, has the Lord told you who you are? Is your life lining up with who he said you are? If you don't know who you are, know that the only the Lord can define what he has created. The appropriate man or woman will only confirm.
