Good morning, everyone! In today's lesson Jesus and the disciples are talking. He asks them to tell him what people are saying about him. Who do they think he is? The disciples tell him that some people think he is the ghost of John the Baptist or Elijah or one of the important prophets that has lived before. People aren't really sure who he is, because he is so different from anyone they've ever met before. Peter, though, knows exactly who Jesus is. Peter says, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." This makes Jesus very happy. Peter has recognized Jesus for who he really is.
