Peter's Profession of TWO Faiths?

Exploring Peter's profound declaration of Christ's identity in Matthew 16:13-20. Examining the questions Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?"

Exploring Peter's profound declaration of Christ's identity in Matthew 16:13-20. Examining the questions Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?", the discussion dives into the multifaceted concept of personal identity and its greater implications on understanding Jesus, and understanding oneself! I then explain why we see Peter making two claims—not just one—when he answers Our Lord's question about who the apostles say that Jesus is. We see Peter demonstrating both natural faith, and supernatural faith. By reflecting on the significance of recognizing Jesus as the Christ and the Son of the Living God, I invite you to think about own identity and faith journey.
