In this episode, we dive into Mark 8:27-30, a major turning point in the Gospel of Mark and a powerful moment of revelation. Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter's bold response, "You are the Christ," challenges us to examine what we truly believe about Jesus. Many people, even within the church, settle for partial truths. They see Jesus as a good teacher or a moral example, but miss the deeper reality of who He really is. This one revelation, that Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed One, has the power to transform your faith, your identity, and your everyday life. Whether you're new to the Bible or have followed Jesus for years, this study will help you reflect on how knowing Him as Lord changes everything.
