Who do you say that I am? This verse defines the heart of the Gospel of Matthew and it’s the most important question you will ever answer in your life. All eternity and even life today hinges on your understanding of who Jesus is. Matthew establishes in the first four chapters Jesus preparation to be King of Israel. If you remember back a couple of weeks Matthew has established in the first 2 Chapters Jesus right to be king both through his lineage and through the fulfillment of prophecy. Chapter 3 pushes further to announce his coronation. Chapter 3 begins with the voice of one crying in the wilderness – the herald of God – in the form of a man named John.
