Episode notes
In the region of Caesarea Philippi, surrounded by pagan temples and shrines to false gods, Jesus asked his disciples the most important question in human history: "Who do you say I am?" (Matthew 16:15, GNT). This question echoes through the centuries, demanding an answer from every person who encounters the Gospel message. The answer we give determines not only our theology but our eternal destiny.
Today, the majority of Christianity answers this question by declaring Jesus to be "God the Son," the second person of a Trinity, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. Yet this answer, as sincere as it may be, finds no support in the pages of Scripture. The Bible presents a different truth—one that is simpler, more beautiful, and more aligned with the monotheistic faith that God revealed to Israel.
