The Bold Confession – Devotional on Matthew 16:15–16

In one of the darkest spiritual centers of the ancient world, Jesus made it personal: “But what about you? Who do you say I am?”

Peter’s response — “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” — was more than words. It was a declaration of faith and allegiance in the face of idols, culture, and opposition.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • Why Peter’s confession carried such boldness and weight.
  • Why many today stop at calling Jesus a “good teacher” or “influencer.”
  • How the question still cuts through our culture: “Who do YOU say I am?”

Reflection Question:
If Jesus asked you today, would you confess Him boldly like Peter, or hold back out of fear or hesitation?

Challenge:
Speak the truth of who Jesus is — Messiah, Son of the living God — to someone this week. Don’t just hold it in your heart. Declare it with your voice.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. Give me boldness like Peter to confess You with courage, no matter the cost. Amen.
