Praise In the Presence of GodSample
Son of the Living God
These words are rich with meaning, giving clear definition to what Simon had come to believe about Jesus. It’s a complete declaration of faith.
You are Christ—that is to say: “Jesus, You’re the Messiah, the anticipated King of glory, the promised One.”
The Son—that is to say: “Jesus, You are God-become-flesh, the Word from eternity incarnate in time.”
Of the living God—that is to say: “Jesus, You are God! You are more than a superhuman, more than an exceedingly wonderful teacher, more than the sum of humanity’s highest potential. You are the Creator of all things come to be the Redeemer of all mankind."
The Power and Blessing
