This is the question Jesus asks His closest companions in Matthew 16, Mark 8, and Luke 9. Yet it is also the question that all who claim to follow Jesus must seek to answer every single day of our lives, not merely in confession, liturgy, or doctrinal alignment, but in how we discern, follow, interpret, obey, and embody Jesus in a world of many voices and many claims.
