Praxis: Who Do the People Say I AM?

What is the public image of Jesus Christ?

Biblical Reference: Matt 16:13-16

Location Mall

Background / Setup
All of us have been taught about Jesus Christ and have our ideas about him. We know that he is the Son of God and died for our sins, but does the world know? Do you people we see everyday know?

Warm-up
Walk around the mall for about 20 minutes and ask people you see walking, sitting down, or even store owners: "Who do you think Jesus Christ is? Or What do you know of Jesus Christ?"

Study
Matt 16:13-16At Jesus’ time, people had different views of Him.
What were some of the views that people had when you asked them? Did this shock you? Did you respond at all?

Application
Hopefully this showed you that not everyone that we see at the mall or in school is a Christian. People we know have different views of God, and especially Jesus Christ. We need to be ready to ask where people are at, and then tell them the truth.

Reflection
Who is one person you could ask and see where they are at in their relationship to Jesus Christ?
