When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” [Mt. 16:13-15]

16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “... on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades [or Hell] will not overcome it. ” [Mt 16:16-18]

Jesus’ first missions question for His disciples: Who do the people around you say that I am?

The Point Of Matthew 13:13-16 It’s not only WHAT Jesus is asking It’s not only WHAT Jesus is asking It’s WHERE Jesus is asking it!

Caesarea Philippi  25 miles north of Sea of Galilee  At the foot of Mount Hermon  Upper Galilee region  Almost entirely pagan city  Center of cult worship

“At the time of Jesus the Temple of Pan, stood imposingly over the entrance to the cave, known as ‘The Gates Of Hades.’ It was believed to be the entrance to the underworld and where the gods came out to reek havoc on man. At the front of the cave was an open altar perched at the brink of the abyss below. There pagan worshipers would offer sacrifices of all kinds” (Unfinished, p193)

Why does Jesus ask the question here? Because that’s where He wants us to ask the same question of others Because that’s where He wants us to ask the same question of others

“when I am lifted up from the earth [on The Cross and people stop to see and think about how I gave my life for them] I will draw all men to myself.” [John 12:32]

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” [John 8:12]

“You [plural/disciples] are the light of the world. A city [a gathering of homes shining my light]... cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people [inside a home] light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house …. let your light shine before men”[Mt. 15:14-16]
