In this day and age of "revisionism", inversion of values and morals, relativism, ignorance of history, and questioning of the existence of historical figures, even Jesus, if we were asked, "Who is Jesus?, what would we say? In Mark's gospel, Jesus asks his apostles, "Who do people say that I am?" (Mk 8:27). Mixed responses ranging from John the Baptist to the prophets do not satisfy Jesus. He wants to know who THEY say he is. Peter blurts out spontaneously: "You are the Christ." (Mk 8:29) that means the anointed one, the Messiah. Can we say the same thing? Can we add on, "the Son of God?" If we don't hold to Jesus as our Savior and the Son of God, we cannot claim to be Christian.
