a. What was Jesus’ point in the teaching?

What does this teaching reveal about Jesus?

3. How would you personally answer Jesus’ question, “But who do you say that I am?” Describe your own beliefs about Jesus.

I believe that Jesus is the answer to everything and everyone. I believe if you open your heart and ears that any and everything you need to know is inside of you because that is where he dwells. It is like the saying always listen to your first instinct, most of the it is right. When I am faced with difficult task or financial problems in the beginning I us to worry, however in the end it seems to somehow take care of itself
