Manna for Your Morning

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” — Matthew 16:15-16 (NASB1995) First, Jesus asked His disciples: “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” (See Matthew 16:13) Then He asked them specifically, “…who do you say that I am?” What is more important for each one of us, is Who we say and believe Jesus is. As John the Baptist sat in prison, he sent two of his disciples to Jesus, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” (See Matthew 11:2-3) There is no other. In John 14:6 Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” He is the chief Corner Stone of the foundation, in whom believers are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. (See Ephesians 2:21-22) Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put t...

Wise people walk the road that leads upward to life, not the road that leads downward to death. — Proverbs 15:24 (GNT) In Matthew 16:13-16 (NKJV), Jesus asked His disciples, “ Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? ” So they said, “ Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets .” He said to them, “ But who do you say that I am? ” Simon Peter answered and said, “ You are the Christ, the Son of the living God .” If you know Jesus as the Son of the living God, and accept Him as our risen Savior, then you have chosen the path of life that leads upward. Jesus came that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 NKJV) Let us continually follow Jesus. He leads us in the paths of righteousness. And whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:15)

“Do not tremble; do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses—is there any other God? No! There is no other Rock—not one!” — Isaiah 44:8 (NLT) Jesus once asked the twelve disciples, “ Do you also want to go away? ” (John 6:67)   But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (John 6:68-69) There is no other Rock, except our mighty God. He is the solid Rock on whom you can stand. Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6 NKJV) Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) And nothing is too difficult for Him.

So Jesus said to the twelve [disciples], “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Simon Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You [alone] have the words of eternal life [you are our only hope].” — John 6:67-68 (AMP) As we depend upon Him, we live a peaceful life. When we daily walk with Him, we can have a joyful life. As we follow Him, and abide in His Word, we will live a victorious life. We were created to live and move and have our being in Him. (Acts 17:28) He leads us along the path of life. To whom shall we go? “ We have believed and confidently trusted, and [even more] we have come to know [by personal observation and experience] that You are the Holy One of God [the Christ, the Son of the living God]. ” (John 6:69 AMP)

So Jesus said to the twelve [disciples], “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Simon Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You [alone] have the words of eternal life [you are our only hope].  — John 6:67 (AMP) In John 6:48 & 51, Jesus was teaching that He is the living bread that came down from heaven, the bread that gives life. He also said whoever eats this bread will live forever. But some of the people did not believe and from that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. (John 6:64,66). But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (John 6:68-69 NKJV). May you believe and know, without a doubt, that Jesus is our only hope. The only true hope we have to offer this world is Jesus, the giver of life.

Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” — John 6:67-69 (NKJV) Jesus is the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world (John 1:9). He is the Living Word and the Bread of Life, the very source of our strength. Jesus is the good shepherd who gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11). Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow...(Philippians 2:9-10). Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Jesus is the answer. Why seek any other?

Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. — Psalm 73:25 (NKJV) Jesus once asked the twelve disciples, “Do you also want to go away?” And Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” (John 6:67-69). Let us be like the psalmist who made a dedicated decision, “My flesh and my heart may fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Psalm 73:26). The Lord is all we really have and thank God, He is all we really need!
