In Sunday school I learned that Jesus was God's Son. I learned that God sent Jesus to earth to be my Savior. I learned Jesus died on the cross and rose in three days and is alive. I prayed and asked Jesus to be my Savior. That is child-like faith.
Who is Jesus to me as an adult? He's still God's Son; He's still my Savior. If He were my teacher, what more would He teach me?
Jesus wanted His disciples to know who He was, so throughout their time with Him, He said things like, "I am the Light of the World." If He said that to you, how would you respond?
He said, "I am the Bread of Life." What does that mean?
As Jesus walked along the roads with His disciples, He pointed to examples from life that led the disciples further in their thoughts as to who He was.
One time, Jesus asked, "Who do men say that I am?" Several of the disciples answered, "Some say you are a reincarnation of one of the prophets."
Then Jesus asked, "Who do you say I am?" Peter said, "You are the Son of the living God." Jesus affirmed Peter and said that God had revealed that to him.
Was God's revelation made only to Peter? Who do you say Jesus is? Is He God or man? How does your answer make a difference in your life?
At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples that He was going away. He said they could not follow Him, but would do so later. Thomas protested that they did not know where Jesus was going, so they did not know the way.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Philip seized the moment. "Lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied."
Jesus said, "Have I been with you so long, Philip, and you do not recognize me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you then say, 'Show us the Father?'
